Back to Heaven's Light - Dewi Lestari

Once in a dream, I saw you telling me

That you've traveled in the dark

Just to find that little spot

How you'd to settle for a light

In the vastness of the night

Then I saw some tears coming from your eyes

As you said you'd found your paradise

And I began to ask you, "why you have to cry?"

And now, it's so dreamlike I hear you telling me

It's been such a perfect grace; it's been such a perfect place

To be in my heart at last, and have angels singing you a song

And it's time for me to say goodbye to those eyes

To let you go so sleeplike and hear your whisper: "why we have to cry?"

It's a journey, you say an illusion of a journey

Now you can't see where it ends and where it starts

It's our life and our love that you wish to have

where you wish to be

In this spark of memory, mortality

What's left for me to do is to welcome you home

Back to my heart, back to heaven's light

Back to my heart, and we're never apart

It's a journey, you say, an illusion of a journey

Now you can't see where it ends and where it starts

What's left for me to do is to welcome you home

Back to my heart, back to heaven's light

Back to my heart, and we're never apart

*Re-read Rectoverso this night. Back to Heaven's Light is the last chapter of this book, yet I realized that I've skipped read this part, beautiful part. And yes, this chapter became my favorite chapter now, along with the first chapter, "Curhat buat Sahabat". Dee didn't lose her insightful thought in this English written part. Reading this book again, made me realize that sometimes the best thing that we have to do is accepting, re-thinking and then living back the life, as it is all that we have. Be like a lotus; a serenity which radiates through her presence, as Dee said.

"We all started the same journey. But, this has been an illusion of a journey, for it didn't have a start and didn't have an end. We will just find one another again, and reside in one another's heart. It's a circle we can not beat. Might as well just enjoy the game..."
