We Met on a Cross Road

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

Ron,

This is my true feeling and a true story.

A well-known poet, my chief poetry editor,Diablo,Dr.Zhangzhi, told me he will take the poetry collection, the Chinese-English Textbook"300 New Chinese Poems 1917-2012)" , the book I proofed in person,to me but he sent it to me, while fortunately we met on A Big Poetry Festival in China 

This was the first time we had been met each other since we had known online about three years.

I just wrote what I felt in my mind.

Thanks Donielle,

This is a true story of my life.

In this poem I wrote a girl who is my classmate in University and we learned English so hard every day together but one day she disappeared with her boy friend and we have not seen again so many year since then and I tried to find her on line for so many times but I failed and one night she appeared in my dream.

Thanks for you love this poem Donielle
