One-Year-Old Baby

Abd Y. Lafi

 

 

In my dream, I saw

a one-year-old baby

crawling towards me.

"Do you need help?"

he asked.

"Yes, indeed"

I replied.

  

So, what do you need me to do, old man?

"Ah, you know me, I am an old man, ha-ha!",

I said:

I need nothing except one small thing

if you can, and that is all.

  

"Take me back to where I belong.

Let me go back in time,

when I was just a soul."

 

 "I want to live in that world again

and to meet my kind,

those who are not born yet.

Then and only then

can I come here

to choose what I want to be,

and to play with you,

to laugh together at those who

don't understand

what they are about

or why they are here,"
