Kerinduan Akan Sebuah Keindahan
Kerinduan Akan Sebuah Keindahan
Biarlah angin berhembus sampai masuk ke pori-pori bila itu membuat rasa dingin menghancurkan kehangatan tubuh.
Biarlah jiwa ini dirundung duka bila itu hanya sebuah pemberhentian sesaat
Bila sebuah kerinduan tidak tercurah dan angin malampun tak datang
Maka biarkanlah mata ini menembus batin kerinduan
Kerinduan akan sebuah keindahan
