A Letter For Jasmine

Jasmine Dear,

There is NOT easy for me to write this, because English is not my native language. Not even my forth language, either. But I want to honor you with a different way in writing, even I know you know our Bahasa. So, please forgive me if my writing is unstructured, as long as you did not get headache by reading this....

I feel like I know you from a long time before. A sister that I never had.

Your burden is heavier then mine.
But you put it on your shoulders with grace.
And all kindness that has fall on earth are growing and growing inside you.

Life is sucks. Yes, I know that, too.
Because this world is full with hypocrites and bigots.
And hatred that keeps missisippi burning.

Maybe sometimes in the middle of the night you've to stay awake and wondering what is the meaning of life.
Even maybe with the silent tears or pain at heart, tired of others lying all the time...
But I saw you handle it very well.

You just need to be YOU. The Beautiful You. Like you always do.

Many song about you has written.

At this moment, I am hearing Christina Aguilera's masterpiece, after read a posting about James Blunt's lyrics.

You're still young.
And your path's still long, maybe a winding one.
But your bone and soul won't lost or bend in the storm of civilization...

And the sky is blue, and your feeling may bluer than yesterday,
but not as dark as unstarry night....

The ocean wide are waiting for you to explore...
Maybe the seadragon and kraken is there, too...
But you are the brave one, angel...

So, sail away sweet sister,
my spirit will always be with you.
And maybe someday you'll find what you're looking for.

Just don't forget to keep in faith,
there always be stars in heaven.....



Me,
(admiring you...)
