Sonnet 4 We Met on a Cross Road

Sonnet 4  We Met on a Cross Road

Sonnet 4
We Met on a Cross Road

— To Ruijie

By Sophy Chen
 
 
I've searched you on web by all your key words
Thousands of times I failed with great sadness 
By accident you appeared in my dream
Last night we met on our way to classroom
 
But I didn't know which University it was
It looks like around mountains, trees and cliffs
As if our departure we met on a cross road
With smile in vain at each other we looked
 
“Where are you going to?” unnaturally I asked
“On my way to be a linguist” You said
“I'd like to be a poet” eagerly I said
With long hair dancing in the wind you nodded  
 
Suddenly I was woken by women gossiping
Out side of window with some dogs barking

"Suddenly I was woken by women gossiping

In china if people do not live in very expensive villa, your life will be like this. 

It is reality in China with more than 13 Billion people and it is so noisy anywhere.

Thanks for your comments again Mark

Dear Cherie,

Thanks for your words!

It is  true dreams can sometimes be prophetic

She can not find her and they may have no same language 

She may think the linguist is different from the poet

As a peot the poetess herself may think she can understand the linguist.

Thank you again 

Sophy
