The End Of Time Poem by PINONDANG SITUMEANG

The end of the year, reflection of life journey

Climbing mountain, down the valleys

Bending roads, holes and walls

Passed in line or over white line roads

Muddy water splash in face, awake

Approaching the end of decade



Flying from a modern life in the blue sky

Landing in a simple rural distant life

Shocked to see helpless over a white sheet

The only sister at stake at the end of her time



Drive full night to whitening graveyard

Say a prayer and respect beloved parent

Saw descendant a good example to behave

Before the last time come at last



Spend nights in our antique traditional home

Lying over a simple sheet without a bed

Feeling of childhood love memories

The only brother surrounding by lovely sisters

A peaceful neighborhood under the green leafs



Joining Christmas in a tiny church up hill

All pews occupied with a new colorful fashion

Sing, verses in local dialogue I am longing for

Full of smile of new generation with full of hope

Meet childhood friends and extended families

A small simple village where I was born



Pedal bike over 50 miles up and down hills

Aware of the last time breathe out of my lung

To motivated that seniors isn't useless group

Lye down helpless, waiting the last seconds



Drive buses passed a risky deep cliff valley

A sleepy driver all night without stars

Through a narrow road with poor signs

Life at stake as on the edge of the time



Zero hour of the year, away from home

Preferred pray with a misery sister family

As a lovely mother helpless at our side

God let she enter a new year with a new hope

See the family smile before the end of time



Flying back home safe and sound from air turbulence

Thanks God to allow me reflected old memories

And united my families to the next generation

To write it down in Biography for the sake of descendant

Before the end of time
