LOST AND FOUND

The night I wonder lose my way,

on away were I was In the derkes of the day,

rain stop filling with no sound to be sing,                                    

 search for a light but found swim around   

  the derkes sea, hard no sound piece or clam to  found

coul and tamoil spinning round

 from  blow light biging to raise.        

  I was lost but returned with strength.         

  Found a fact of life fill truth in lose.

Asma’u Sulaiman is a poet from Gombe State, Nigeria. I lives with my brothers and sisters in a close-knit family rooted in love and culture. My father, Sulaiman Ibrahim, and mother, Aishatu Sule, have been strong influences in my life. I finds inspiration in my surroundings and expresses my thoughts, dreams, and values through poetry. With a voice both humble and reflective, I uses my writing to explore themes of identity, hope, and purpose. My work reflects a deep sense of awareness and a passion for storytelling.
