On Thou

I was searching for Wonder
And Adventure
I sought Greatness in my Work
And in the adoration of Others
And when Work defeated me
I sought Healing in Others
And in Books, and in Words

It took these words to remind me
That the Greatness and the Healing
I was seeking
Was always here all along
In Thou, closer to me than my jugular vein
In Thou, the Lord of all the Worlds.

Tentang Kepasrahan Menanggung Ujian

Walau dicincang tiadakan putus
Arusan air tetap mengalir
Usah ditentang galuran arus
Aturan hayat lazimnya getir

Walaupun banjir melanda lembah
Tiada tertunduk jiwa manusia
Segala uji digalas tabah
Pasrah terima tanpa kecewa.

On These Slim Volumes

Within these slim volumes
Entire worlds beckon

Swim through the eddies of the brightest minds
of this evanescent civilisation
Skim through these words
Read them with deep introspection

They glimmer with Wisdom's lustrous glow.
