DOA

kepada pemeluk teguh

Tuhanku
Dalam termangu
Aku masih menyebut namamu

Biar susah sungguh
mengingat Kau penuh seluruh

cayaMu panas suci
tinggal kerdip lilin di kelam sunyi

Tuhanku

aku hilang bentuk
remuk

Tuhanku

aku mengembara di negeri asing

Tuhanku
di pintuMu aku mengetuk
aku tidak bisa berpaling

Homesickness (Wikipedia)

Homesickness
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Homesickness is generally described as a feeling of longing for one's familiar surroundings. It frequently occurs when one travels or, more rarely, when one experiences a sense of tumult within a familiar context. Homesickness is especially common in youth - one may experience a sense of dread or helplessness on their first day of school, or on a protracted summer vacation away from their parents, or during university, when many "leave the nest."

Symptoms

Symptoms in homesickness may be purely psychological emotions or, in extreme cases, cause mild health problems. While there is no "universal symptom" of homesickness, most describe it as a want or longing to be back home (this want may be caused by missing family, friends, or a familiar environment). People may describe their feelings as a deep sadness, depression, frustration, anger, hopelessness, or even suicidal thoughts. Sometimes the feelings are so intense that one may experience physical symptoms, listed below.
In extreme cases, health problems may occur. This is similar to the stress reaction: one who is stressed may have cramps, ulcers, diarrhea, headaches, tense muscles, vomiting, etc. In both cases, various people have various symptoms; once again, there is no "universal symptom". People who have severe homesickness, though, may experience nausea, diarrhea, headache, crying (tears), etc.
Psychologists say that the best way to alleviate homesickness is to bring along "transitional objects" such as photographs or tape-recorded messages from family members. Those mementos can alleviate the uncomfortable feelings when people are away from home.
