Three Women

There was once a woman,
I met walking up in the mountains.
She was beautiful,
she was kind,
with a red flower in her hair.
She took the words straight out of my mouth.

There was once a woman,
I met walking near a stream.
She washed her whites,
she dried her blacks,
with a pure white apron on,
she washed my mistakes away.

There was once a woman,
I met in a lonely cafe.
She was lovely,
she was warm,
when she started to sing,
she blew my soul away.

Love this image creating write my friend. Once, once mind you, when a wild, young man I danced with three or four new ladies each and every week... I was then lost and vainly searching. Your poem reminded me of my lost travels back then and put a sly and devilish smile upon my face. A7
