Sonnet II: Farewell Song by Sukasah Syahdan
Let me for somewhere I should stroll Bid thee farewell. You, eternal wonder that enthralls my soul, will always tolls like a muezzin’s serene call yonder. Who can really reckon the lines on the palm? But I must believe in voices that compel That at the end of the tunnel, a day will come When I know: this farewell fares us well. The ominous hands of Time and Distance (That once tought us to paint desire) Shall make us yearn at each other's absence Yet they'll see how immortal we are. Our moments together have tuned a song A sacred one for each of us to sing alone.
