A2–B11:12
Night has truly arrived now.
Malam benar-benar sudah tiba sekarang.
The branches outside are bare.
Ranting-ranting di luar sudah kosong.
Just one leaf clung on for days.
Hanya satu daun bertahan berhari-hari.
It shivered in the cold wind.
Dia bergetar ditiup angin dingin.
I watched it from my window.
Aku melihatnya dari jendelaku.
It held its place so bravely.
Dia bertahan dengan begitu berani.
But all things must eventually change.
Tapi semua hal pasti akan berubah.
This morning, it finally detached.
Pagi ini, dia akhirnya lepas.
It floated down to the earth.
Dia melayang turun ke tanah.
A small ending, yet important.
Sebuah akhir kecil, tapi penting.
It makes me think of my own tasks.
Ini membuatku memikirkan tugasku sendiri.
Some things also reach their end.
Beberapa hal juga mencapai akhirnya.
