Menari Mimpi

And so another day to which we celebrate

Once we’ve tapped our feet and clapped our hands across battlefields

Skipped and dodged and hid through dangerous escapades

Partied in mundane masquerades with friendly rival hosts,

In our elite we toast to the restraint of our constant dynamism

And recount on the durability of our compromising decrees

Yet at times, we favor to quietly flee in search for serenity

Towards a periphery that our space-yearning minds have drawn,

Over which to the other side we cross

Easing into a sanctuary that our gifts have bestowed,

Bringing in gunpowder scent that satiates the air,

Enchanting crimson blood flowing from fresh open cuts,

The chime of plunged enemies’ swords that are tinkling in our ears;

Remnants which we rise to enthrone on the seeds of our flowerbeds

From where our train of queen bees feast on their sweets

Secure some to have them prepared as remedy

And served to heal our might and restore our majesties


This other side that we cross over to

Is where a dream begins

While the others transform into feats

Where peace blossoms

Only to make way for more to grow
