Suspension bridge over the river Lematang between Pagar Batu and Lahat, Sumatra (Indonesia)

I stand in the stillness of twilight.
A gliding seagull skims the foam
While mangroves bow loose-dangling crowns
Over jellyfish bellying up with the tide.

The wind, returning, scoops the earth,
Raises golden spray as it buffets the bay,
Runs up to the lonely mountain peak
Then swings through the top of the forest.

Poem by indonesian poet Amir Hamzah
