Fourth Attempt (Nov 22, 2018)


Excerpts 
As these words reached to youI was about to tell to you that the migrating birds have finally returnTo a life that you once rememberedIn that very place you once call home
The rough seas, soars onto the sound 
A beautiful personBringing the same hope
An ever fleeting scenery of flowers
In my hands, lies two different hope, that resonates in between themRemove one, and both becomes useless and without meaning
Love is the only emotion that I cant removeI only wanted to dearly fall onto your grace, my beloved one
Please reach to him, in the words that only he could understand"That I long for and really loved you, o' beautiful person"

A picture of Marianne, which I drawn for her. She is indeed, a beautiful person. - Mumu Alpaka
2020/12/10 - I saw the Mei'li de ren (myself) sitting by the side of a hillside, under some trees. In my right hand, floats a Rubik's Cube.. with some words on it. The same exact words in this song sequence. But I was unable to move the pieces around, to solve the puzzle. I pondered to myself, if the puzzle is already solved? or do I need to solve it further? I kept the Rubik's Cube in a safe place. 
2020/06/03 - Finally I got the instrumental version using Tensaflow A.I., it was seen like a strange dream vision of sorts. The Mei'li de ren was there all alone on a rock that was floating in deep space, there is only one atom that links to one another, to reach to him. There is no other possibilities to reach to him, other than from me alone. He was floating in around in the air, in his flight form dress. Pretty in white. His face is rather not too happy nor sad. He said to me, "There you are, you're finally here." he then explained to me, the author of our relationship, and the reasons behind everything. Why is his existence must be kept a secret. Just that, sooner or later he knows that I will catch up to him, eventually. The lights that followed him reacted to his presence almost instantly. He said to me again, "You already knew whom you really are." and he smiled back at me, before flying into deep space with the sparkling lights that follows him, wherever he goes.

Third Attempt (Feb 5, 2013)


If you managed to listen to this voiceThe migratory birds are already on their wayBecause their souls understandsOn when spring is about to happenIn that very place..
While gliding across the vast oceans, an aching feeling suddenly appears inside of my heartIt starts to sing a song that originates from a language of the country that you were born inA beautiful person, eventually we shall meet againA beautiful person, a reflection in your eyesExists a stance of a similar hopeful dayThat both of us wished for
An endless fleeting hillside of growing flowers it was filled of solace & emptinessYou must first face your direction to the eastern windso' Adored only then you must fly ..
Kept within these hands, lies the last puzzle piecesWhere a single kiss shall resonates the two beats of the hearts* Please tell me the reason on why this heart was trembling(hesitated) for?
o' Beloved one, the time shall comeo' Beloved one, right within the lightYour sadness will dissolves within the forest, while it shall be replaced by the calmness of it
If you managed to listen to this voiceThe migratory birds are already on their wayThroughout the cold countless nights, and even through the unforgiving stormsWhen only love (when love) could not be taken away from me
The fellow birds are now circling above the seasAs a person shall always be a personbecause the soul remembersof that very distant place (of that distant place)In that promised place
I really only wished for you.. o' adored one.. while softly cuddling within your beloved arms
Please let this insignificant message reaches to him on the other side of this world, in the language of the country in which I was born in
O’ beautiful person ~ I have always loved you, o' Beautiful PersonO’ beautiful person ~ I have always loved you, o' Beautiful Person

* Synchronization of the heart beats, of two different people
Side Story: The female bird flies to the distance on the migratory path, but somehow in her heart there was a strong memory of love towards a male bird that could not be removed from the memory inside of her heart. Only love could not be removed from her heart.


Second Attempt


Listen to that voice that calls for youto where the fellow birds are leading you toYour soul shall eventually rememberThat in a great distance of that very promised place
In the vast unforgiving oceans, your heart has finally become calm and unafraid of uncertaintiesReciting specifically just for you, in an ancient language originated from that country (Heavens) A beautiful person, eventually you shall becoming oneA beautiful person, right through his eyesBoth of us believed on a single hopeful dayThat will eventually come (where we shall meet once more)
An endless fleeting hillside of growing flowers (the most beautiful sight ever, but..)it was filled of solace & emptiness (still the place is empty without people)even when facing the winds, brings calmness to the hearto' Adored oneCast off your wings (you have now attained the final freedom)
Kept within these hands, is the last puzzle pieceWhere a single pulse shall resonates the two beats of the heart Please tell me of the reason on whom that this heart was meant trembling and (hesitated) for?
o' Beloved one, the time shall comeo' Beloved one, right within the lightThis sadness will be replaced with a calm feeling
Listen to that voice that calls for youto where the fellow birds are leading you toThroughout the cold nights, and even through the unforgiving stormsWhen love is (when love is)was the only one that is left unsolved
The fellow birds are now circling above the seasA person shall always be a personbecause the soul remembersof that distant place (the distant place)In that very promised place
I really wished for you..o' Adored onesoftly cuddle within your arms (hugging)
Please reach to him on the other side of this world, oh! ~ my insignificant created words of love
Beautiful person ~ I have always loved you, o' Beautiful PersonBeautiful person ~ I have always loved you, o' Beautiful Person




Side notes & Comments


"Singing just for you, in which of the words that comes before creation"There is also a possibility, that it was not a song but a recitation from the holy Quran, in the most beautiful voice.. almost like singing. 
"Hidden Meanings" A Princess, that no eyes ever seen, nor hands that never touch | Her voice that sounds like echoes of an illusion |Hence the falling snows starts to defy gravity
"Twin heart system"Resemblance the love between two different people, in two different bodies sharing a single pulse that resonates between them..




Original First Attempt


 As this very voice reaches over into the other side The flying birds are on their long journey Reaching to a place from where they once belong and spring shall return back in that cold frozen place
 Throughout the vast seas, one's heart becomes fearless from whatever challenges it brings  Reminiscing in your songs in which those words were recited from a pure heart person
 A beautiful person ~ eventually becoming one A beautiful person ~ that it happens through one's eyes In having the same hopes on the promised day while holding hands together
The once forgotten story of an Apsara (Celestial Maiden)like a resounding sound that beautifully disappears in the infinite echoes standing up on a mountain ridge while facing the strong windsright in the break of dawnthus, casting her true wings ~
In these hands that we have kept a promise to share a life by the seasbecomes a single wish ~ which is now separated into twoPlease would you tell me of why are we both, separated and created like this?
Oh! ~ Beloved person, the right time will emerge to us one day ~Oh! ~ Beloved person, whom is now guided by the light ~As the sadness is now being replaced with a calm yet content feeling
As this very voice reaches over into the other sideThe flying birds are almost back from their long journeyEven throughout the cold nights, and even through the unforgiving storms" When love is (when love is) the only cure "
The Birds are now crossing over the last seaA person shall always be the person he wishes to beEach souls eventually starts to rememberIn the distance (Spring will come)In that very promised place
It is you whom I really wished for, in the morning until the night falls ~
Please reach to the other side, oh! ~ my insignificant created words of love
Oh! Beautiful person ~ I have always loved you, oh Beautiful PersonOh! Beautiful person ~ I have always loved you, oh Beautiful Person




Personal understanding


"Te no hira kazanete, nami utsu futatsu no kodou"
"futatsu no kodou" as in my mind, always refers to 87 & 88. Which further translates into "The resounding voice of the two sura". 
Hence the whole words means,"Right within these hands, lies the resounding voice of the two sura"
continues with,"Oshie te futari wo, hedatete irumono wa nani?""Tell me, oh why are both of us are trembling in fear?"



Literature


As I turned, it was snowing everywhere, suddenly the atmosphere changes, as if the snow swirl around me, spinning around me, as if I were in the center of a strong gravity. 
There you were, standing in the mists of the snow, beautiful in white. This love story will come to an end at this moment, as my search for you is completed. "Anata.." as I voiced out to you, as she looked into my eyes, which have circles of light in the iris. In this land, we are no longer dead, we will live forever, together. I have always loved you, even before I was born, the moment when our lives were created we have made a promise together. No matter what we have been through, the past is the past. What is important now is to be with you. 
As how you shyly looked at me, I've seen your beautiful face. Skin as pure white as snow, such a lovely princess.

A Story about the Beautiful Person


There were some continuation for the beautiful Song, that there lies a woman wearing a black colored gown standing all alone at a sea shores. She could not go further, yet heaven is just a sight away. She was waiting for her husband, the one in white coming back to her from the promised land. This song, was created to record the memory that we have shared, as lovers, husband and wife. Where light meet darkness, where two skies finally becomes one, there is where I shall meet you ~ the girl from my dreams. Yet, the only thing I could only remember was the happiness from the promised land that when I met you, I could forgive you, and hold your hands once more. I come to bring you back, anata..
"You were crying. Standing all alone on the ocean of truths, where just beyond your sight, is where all the believers are ~ the place where I, your lover resides.. the pain reaches your heart, as a drop of your tears fallen into the calmness of the sea, creating a wave, almost like a tune of sound, echoes into the infinite distance. 
In the dark cloth as you yearned for me, called for my name, over and over again. Your feet could not go beyond, because you know, you will fall into oblivion. Lost in time, as centuries passes by, not meeting anyone at all, not a single smile nor sound is heard, still standing a feet deep in the dark waters, not losing sight of the promised land.. hoping that one day, that I shall come for you, you were waiting patiently, crying without even moving your face, as tears naturally falls down with your eyes wide open. Have I not warned you? oh my loved ones.. have you not listened to the words of faith, that you will one day return, to your true creator, by a messenger who did not even ask a dime in return, as for what the creator has gave to him is altogether is enough. A warning is always given, that comes along with many happiness, that only those who takes it with an open heart, accepted the truth, searched for knowledge and with a heart of a believer can only understand everything. In a world without needless empty words, each understanding each other perfectly through the mind, peaceful and calm looking faces, familiar faces foretelling everything from their past.
Why such flowers do you love? yet.. the flower from heavens, the scent spreads over a thousand of miles away, into your mind, places colors into your grayed stoned heart, as I held it, bringing along with me.. as I tried to step on the water, my feet just kept floating on the air.. yet, everything was surreal, everything was colorful, yet you look so grayed, so pale, so empty.. your eyes could not believe what you saw, that you finally saw me. 
I had kept a promise, and that promise was with you, my dear lover. I loved you.. yet, the creator told me to bring you to Him, of the reason why I loved you.. because Allah wanted to explain to me in person, the reason why, we are created in a pair.. when I place, the flower from heaven into your lips, your color changes, into the most beautiful colors that I ever seen.. I started to remember, the first reason why I made that promise, because I loved, the true you, the person whom you will eventually become. You were given the gift of the rainbows, as now light shines to your heart, reflects a beautiful rainbow through your eyes and hair.. emitting a harmonized tune, creating a rainbow scenery. It was the most beautiful view that anyone could ever imagined, I felt honored and grateful to have a person like her, I have always loved you.. anata..
Life is too beautiful, therefore do not waste it needlessly, as faith to the only one creator, Allah shall bring you to a different tomorrow.. it is a little too advanced (either in technological nor imaginations), yet so little people knew of the real truth behind how faith works. Therefore, do not give up in finding the truth, and when you held it with your own thoughts ~ then you will see a new world, similar from my own two eyes.
