MEIN TRAUM (MY DREAM)

Our paths crossed at the well

An unusual girl she was

Eyes large and brown

One look into them, you sure could drown

Mayhaps, due to the faraway look

Like she was here and she was yonder

Her fair skin shone like pearls

Her hair unusually bright, almost auburn

Her body looked frail as if she would break

Yet in her gait, a rare forte exuded

Her whole appearance was peculiar

Beautifully so

I stared so hard, so much, in awe

That I tripped and almost fell

Head first into the well

Then I felt frail fingers

Grab me with such strength

And haul me on the grass patch

After one hard look

She turned on her heels

I called out and ran after her

The more I ran, the farther she seemed

She never said a word to me

She floated away

And I knew then,

 I dreamt about one 

from here and yonder
