Lhokseumawe now, or formerly known as the Samawi Bay. Looks very quiet now, there is no more bustle of the harbor. I took this photo on 5/25/2020.

The pic below was taken between 1895 and 1910. Creator: Alberti, J.
Title: "Groet uit Telok-Semawé"

Fantastic!
I am daydreamed of by a future in which emptiness there can be disturbed again by the crowd as in the past.
It doesn't matter if sometimes we shake hands and at other times we fight, but clearly, we are connected to each other.
Feel the warmth in that harbor again.
Call for seamen!

O sailors

You are indeed the grandson of a great sailor
Descendants of Muallim in the past
Now Ra-Ubabdar is incarnated in the heart
Raja Kanayan always remembers
You are their grandchild, I have no doubt

(I quote your poem)
