Sea, where is your source
so that I can return to your origins
Sea, where are your bearings
so that I can follow your stream
When being does not leave prints
in the sand yet emotion
is so deeply engraved
When an address cannot guarantee
the arrival of a longed-for letter
yet from afar can be heard
the faint flutter of longing
I want to be alone with the sea
where I throw my dark love
to sink in receding waves
Subagio Sastrowardoyo's "Sea Sonnet".
