till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear

and the rock melt wi’ the sun

i will love thee still, my dear

while the sands o’ life shall run

If we’re to live up to our own time, then victory won’t lie in the blade, but in all the bridges we’ve made.

That is the promise to glade, the hill we climb, if only we dare.

I do love the poem that Amanda Gorman read during Biden's inaugural because indeed the poem is pretty but also it can move whoever heard and read it how positive the poem could move anyone. it feels like there is always a hope for the future

I am very inspired by a poem from Sapardi Djoko Damono, here they are:

"Pada suatu hari nanti,
Jasadku tak akan ada lagi,
Tapi dalam bait-bait sajak ini,
Kau tak akan kurelakan sendiri.

Pada suatu hari nanti,
Suaraku tak terdengar lagi,
Tapi di antara larik-larik sajak ini.

....."

The title is Pada Suatu Hari Nanti

Dawn ignites, a sleepy sigh, Sun stretches, paints the world with fireflies. Leaves dance, a balletic sway, Day unfolds, a vibrant story to play.

Sun dips low, a golden lie, Stars peek through, a velvet lullaby. Day sleeps now, dreams in hand, Of shadows chased and firefly land.
