You came, you left
So fast, so swift
Like the lightning
It's here, it's gone
...
How could you have grown so tall!
You were just a tiny cone
Quietly pointing towards the sky.
Were you trying to tell me that
...
I await the wind
To blow me from where I am
Drop me with enough force and sound
To wake me up from a prolonged sleep
...
A tiny speck
It shines and twinkles
In the dark, immense sky.
The nomads in the desert,
...
My son,
What thoughts race through
My mind when I see you?
What do I feel when I see you?
...
To My Unborn Child
You came, you left
So fast, so swift
Like the lightning
It's here, it's gone
But you will not be forgotten
Because you were the spark
Of intense, intimate friction
Fluid motion, warm union
You're gone to where
We surely will follow
You're free of the cares
Of our imperfect world
You left an emptiness
A longing, a need
You left questions
We'll never answer.
