ANALISIS MAKNA PUISI "TUHAN, KITA BEGITU DEKAT" KARYA ABDUL HADI WM DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN SEMIOTIK

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the meaning of the poem "God, We Are 
So Close" by Abdul Hadi W.M. using a semiotic approach. This 
poem was chosen because it contains strong religious and Sufistic 
symbols, and represents the spiritual relationship between humans 
and God in depth. Roland Barthes' semiotic approach is used in this 
research, focusing on two levels of meaning: denotative and 
connotative. Through the identification and interpretation of 
linguistic signs in poetry, it is found that this poetry builds the 
meaning of existential closeness between humans and God through 
metaphors such as "fire and heat" and "wind and air", which 
symbolically depict the unity of nature in the Sufistic tradition. The 
results of the analysis show that the meaning of poetry is not only 
implied in layers of literal language, but also contains cultural and 
spiritual myths that enrich the reader's understanding of 
transcendental values. Thus, the semiotic approach allows the 
expression of the deeper meaning of poetry, both philosophical and 
religious.
