what are we holding on to?

those were the stories that stayed with you that meant something. even if you were too small to understand why. but I think, I do understand. I know now. folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. they kept going because they were holding on to something. what are we holding on to? that there's some good in this world. and it's worth fighting for.

fragmen bersejarah

kelak akan ada saat dimana kau begitu lelah. tenaga habis terkuras. sakit di sekujur ragamu. mata yang merindukan pejaman istirahat. lapar dan dahaga tak terkira. ditekan dari berbagai arah. namun kau harus terus bergerak. maju ke depan tentunya. karena jika berputar balik kanan, maka sama saja dengan hancur. tak jarang batin pun menjadi bimbang. bersama dalam engahan nafas pendekmu, kau coba untuk fokus berpikir jernih. ingatan kembali menerawang. dilatari gegap tekad yang terucap di masa lampau, kau paksa semangat itu untuk terus berkobar. pelan namun pasti, kau tiba juga di titik akhir perjalanan. semoga.
