RUMAH JIWAKU

Puisi Naning Pranoto

RUMAH JIWAKU

kubangun sebuah rumah untuk jiwaku
agar aku terpanggil pulang sebelum matahari terbenam
di beranda, jiwaku mengagumi indahnya langit senja
bersamamu - belahan jiwaku, pewaris rusuk Adam

rumah jiwaku beratap angin yang mengayun mimpi memetik bukan buah kuldi
kunikmati bersamanya - belahan jiwaku, pewaris biji buah Adam yang subur
sesubur biji sesawi tumbuh menjadi cemara-cemara anggun
peneduh rumah jiwaku

kubangun rumah untuk jiwaku
agar aku memiliki ruang-ruang tak segelap dan sepengap gua
jiwaku istirah di dalamnya, dibelai sejuknya malam
bersamamu - belahan jiwaku, pewaris keperkasaan Adam:
merengkuh jiwaku
nafasnya hangat, menghantarku ke ujung malam
jiwaku dan jiwanya melintasi bintang-bintang
mendaki puncak gunung di permukaan rembulan
duhai, sungguh menetramkan jiwaku

kubangun rumah untuk jiwaku
beroasis,dinaungi pepohonan kurma berbiji buah Adam
kutelan biji Adam, maka garba emasku pun menatah janin ketika purnama tiba
janin itu membentuk sosok Maruti - Putra Sang Bayu:
putih tubuhnya, putih hatinya, putihnya ruhnya
putih juga air matanya
keping otaknya berkilau di dalam tempurung suasa
kedua tangannya menggegam upaya, sembah dan bamti
kaki-kakinya tangguh mengembara ke tujuh penjuru buana
do benaknya tak pernah lupa: dihidupi air susu Anjani
ia menghargai tangan-tangan Hawa yang mengangkatnya hingga ke Atap Bumi
anak lelaki itu anakku - rumah jiwaku
tempatku istirah ketika tulang-tulangku serapuh abu

(Dari Kumpulan Puisi Naning Pranoto "Kepada Pohon Lelaki")

INDAHNYA PERSAHABATAN

Oleh: Siti Rasehaya

Proses pertemananan mjd sahabat mamang tdk terjalin secara otomatis, tapi membutuhkan proses.
Saat pertama kenal nama Erina Bolli, tdk menyangka kalau dia gadis belia yg baru berusia 11 th, gadis kecil yg luar biasa, pandai, lincah, lucu, jail,yg tercermin dalam komentar dan statusnya, membuat orang yg mengenalnya bisa "jatuh cinta"

Namun tak disangka, dlm keceriaanya itu tersimpan penderitaan karena sakit yg diderita, namun Erina tdk pernah menangisi dirinya, walau sejak umur 2 th. sdh ditinggal berpulang mamanya, dia tumbuh mjd anak yg dewasa.karena keseharianya banyak dikelilingi buku yg menemaninya.

Kerinduan akan figur seorang mama dia temukan dlm dunia maya lewat akun fecebooknya, diantara teman yang pernah dia sebutkan saya biasa dia sebut Bunda, Tante Sisil, mba Meiy, dan mba Desah.
Kehadiran kami memang utk memberikan rasa cinta dan kasih yg tulus untuk mensupport semangat hidupnya, disaat raga mulai rapuh karena penyakitnya.

Sedikit mengutip statementnya dalam komentar di wallnya" Perhatian tante dan bunda telah mengikis kepsrahan Ein, kasih yg tante dan bunda hadirkan pd Ein membuat Ein sangat berharap dapat melihat wajah kalian, sebelum Ein di panggil Tuhan, kalau kematian rasanya Ein sdh sangat siap, namun sekarang kalau boleh Ein ingin terus hidup"

Wenti, kenapa wajah saya tidak seceria saat kita bertemu di Senayan, karena rasa haru biru, antara sedih dan bangga bisa mengenal mendiang Erina. Dan kini kita dipersatukan oleh sahabat- sahabatnya yg menyayanginya, tanpa melihat latar belakang Agama, suku, ras/ etnis, kaya/miskin, semua telah menyatu tetap menyayangi Ein walau telah tiada, seperti yang dilakukan tante Sisil mengundang teman dan tetangga yg seiman untuk mendoakan 40 hari meninggalnya Erina, dan kita yg berbeda keyakinan mendoakanya dgn caranya sendiri.

Inikah yang namanya kasih sepanjang masa? walau tak bisa menyentuhnya tapi mampu merasakannya.

Berjuang

ketika hati tak lagi berfungsi sebagai hati
ketika mata tak ingin melihat di hadapan
ketika telinga tak ingin mendengar
diri tetap berjalan

awan tak berarak di atas mimpi
manusia berlari di atas padang
mengejar mimpi berkabut
tak tentu arah tertunjuk

asa kian sampai di tepian
beban dalam kalbu memberat
nafas tersengal menahan diri
mencoba meringankan hati

RENUNGAN ATAU INSPIRASI ???

Oleh: Wenti Zakiah

Malam ini saya bersama keluarga tercinta nobar, awalnya kita nonton INDONESIA MENCARI BAKAT di TRANS TV.. heeemmm bagus-bagus ya bakatnya? Patut di beri tombol hijau, apalagi yang namanya Putri Ayu; bakatnya adalah penyanyi seriousa padahal umurnya baru 12 tahun dan dia menyanyikan lagu barat gitu n’ bla… bla… bla… acara ini habis, chanel tv pun berpindah alih ke INDOSIAR acara TAKE ME OUT tapi ga lama kemudian chanelnya saya ganti lagi ke GLOBAL TV acara ROSSY, wah… wah…wah… kali ini membahas tentang anak-anak autis, salah satu anak autis bernama Ayman Muhammad membacakan Ayat Suci Al-Qur’an; QS.Lukman: 13-14, adik ini sekolah di Al-Azhar dan dia selalu meraih peringkat 10 besar di kelasnya. Ayman Muhammad pernah meraih juara lomba adzan nasional & lomba mtq nasional.

Penuturan Ayahanda Ayman Muhammad: “ sungguh suatu kebanggan karena ini adalah anugerah terindah dari Allah yang luar biasa dan saat ini kita sedang di kelilingi malaikat-malaikat kecil “. Beliau juga berbagi keluh kesah tentang cerita pahit Ayman Muhammad “Ya… menjadikan anak saya seperti ini butuh perjuangan yang besar, kesabaran tanpa batas karena banyak rintangan-rintangan yang saya dan keluarga rasakan, salah satunya sekolah al-azhar itu adalah sekolah anak normal dan Ayman Muhammad sempat di demo oleh orang tua wali murid satu sekolahan dengan alasan mereka tidak terima jika anaknya disamakan oleh anak autis dan tidak suka kalau di sekolah tersebut ada anak autis”.

Pesan moral yang saya tangkap:
1. Jangan pernah memandang orang dari sisi; kekurangan, kondisi ekonomi (kelas ekonomi), fisik. Tetapi pandanglah orang tersebut dari sisi kelebihan yang terdapat pada dirinya, sesungguhnya Allah itu Maha Adil

2. Bagi kita yang di berikan mata sempurna sepasang, telinga sempurna sepasang, suara yang merdu, seperangkat mulut, dua lubang hidung, sepuluh jari tangan, sepuluh jari kaki. Mengapa terkadang begitu ANGKUH dengan lingkungan sekitar dan kurang mensyukuri nikmat yang telah di tentukan olehNya, jika untuk amal di perhitungkan sedemikian rupa tetapi untuk hal-hal yang bersifat duniawi: HEBOHNYA SETENGAH MATI, kalau seperti ini namanya apa ya? MANUSIA apa HEWAN?

Asal kamu tahu? Mereka penyandang cacat.. sebenarnya juga tidak mau menerima kenyataan hidup pahit seperti ini!! Tapi apalah daya Allah berkata lain, mereka yang hidup di jalanan sebenarnya juga tidak mau menanggung beban hidup yang di alaminya saat ini!! Bukan malas bekerja tetapi apalah daya harta tak berpihak pada dirinya sehingga mereka tak mampu untuk sekolah dan mendapatkan pekerjaan yang layak

Ya… memang? Sekarang sekolah negeri yang gratis sudah mulai bertaburan, tetapi untuk masalah: baju seragam, uang saku sekolah, uang sewa buku paket. Siapa yang mau bayarin? Uang darimana?

Kita boleh tertawa hahahihihahahihi
Kita boleh bersenag-senang jalan-jalan
Kita boleh shoping untuk baju baru
Kita boleh makan mewah di restoran
Kita boleh nonton pergelaran-pergelaran dengan tiket mahal
SEHINGGA KITA PUAS DENGAN DUNIAWI! LUPA DENGAN ALAM YANG MENANTI KITA

Ya semua itu… memang hak asasi kita
Karena duit-duit kita, hasil dari gaji satu bulan
Ngeluarin keringet… pergi pagi pulang sore
Hasilnya hanya untuk kenikmatan sesaat!

Tapi apakah kamu tega?
Jika di luar sana ada yang menangis terseduh-seduh karena kesusahan!!

Tegakah kita??? Tegakah kita??? Tegakah kita???
Jika semua ini terjadi! Dimana otak kita?
Apa gunanya BHINEKA TUNGGAL IKA?

Maaf jika kata-kata saya terlalu lebay, matinya rasa lebay sama dengan SOMBONG. Karena dengan rasa lebay itu lah kita bisa menelaah suatu masalah lebih kritis sehingga dari sikap inilah kita berusaha untuk menjadi lebih baik lagi!!!

Yang tidak suka dengan note`saya, tolong abaikan saja jempol dan tanggapannya! Saya yakin pasti akan ada segelintir orang yang akan memberikan tanggapan untuk pembelaan diri karena manusia cenderung tidak suka di kritik. Lebih tepatnya senang di sanjung! Sudah lumrah kalau sifat manusia seperti ini, karena hanya Allah yang Maha Sempurna

Bismillah.. (tes.. posting pertama)
