Lalay Allan Poems

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
...

You came, you left
So fast, so swift
Like the lightning
It's here, it's gone
...

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?
...
