Alone by Kawah Putih
Kawah Putih, was surreal. At first glance you could make out the entire expanse of a lake, but not quite. The highly acidic lake, constantly billowing steam and sulfurous gas. Also mist flowed in, given that the lake was 2,430m a.s.l. So at a point it was hard to see the lake, but in between strong gusts of wind, you could see the surrounding crater walls blanketed by deep forests, but the trees on the shore bore thin and lifeless.
It makes you wonder
all you can be, all the people around
the reflections of you and me.
And the mist renders it unclear
of where the next steps lie
somewhere between faith and knowledge
questioning the ties.
