Tiring the heart--
mountains and ocean
too much beauty

wild mushrooms
in our deserted garden
wrapped in silence
we know how this coldness
lingers like cataract

jamur-jamur liar
di taman yang telantar
terbungkus sepi
dan kita tahu tentang beku
yang lekat bagai katarak

Here is a link to the poem

Thx, Diana

Too bad, it says "Sorry, the page you were looking for in the blog Conjured Sunlight does not exist."

Sorry, it's my fault. It's really there.
