Jam dinding di ruang tunggu
tidak pernah lelah bertanya,
sudah sampai mana kau
dengan hidupmu sendiri?
Kita sering menjawabnya
dengan kesibukan
seolah bergerak cepat
sama dengan bergerak maju
Tapi ada hari-hari
ketika waktu berhenti sebentar,
dan kita duduk
di antara detik yang diam,
bertanya-tanya
apakah kita sedang hidup,
atau hanya menunggu
giliran untuk pergi
THE CLOCK THAT KEEPS ASKING
The clock on the waiting-room wall
never tires of asking
how far have you come
with your own life?
We often answer
with busyness
as if moving fast
were the same as moving forward
But there are days
when time pauses for a moment,
and we sit
inside the quiet between seconds,
wondering
if we are truly living,
or simply waiting
for our turn to leave
