Mendesau berkesah
berhembus lirih
Menyampaikan pesan
Kesan malam merindukan nurani
Memimpikan fajar berpelangi
Bertahtakan mentari
Berhasrat menuju cakrawala meninggi
Membawa perih dambaan hati
Bertiup lirih semilir gemerisik
Berpilin-pilin mensunyi sesekali berhenti…
Membawa pergi rahasia hati.
Akankah gejolak batin pergi berakhir?
Senyap bertenang angin malam
Sampaikan salamku padanya
Buah hati kenangan pesona
Yang dulu ada kini tiada…
Sang penguasa hidup dan semesta
padaNya lah segala asa.
Bagus Syafrieza Paradhika, 2020

Perjalanan Angan (Journey of Thoughts) was inspired by the busy traffic in Jakarta. Cherly described the beginning as someone is walking through a crowded situation where people are chatting, the cars are honking, a bakso (meatball) seller is passing by and the ambulance’s siren is heard, when suddenly the thoughts of that person slowly enters one’s own imagination built by the surroundings. With a lot of ideas and imagination, one is dancing in one’s own head. (Jakarta, May 27th, 2019)
