Originally written in German (with the full intention of it later being translated into English) because I wrote it while sitting in a highly trafficked coffeehouse and creepers were attempting to read over my shoulder. Sorry if the flow is off; if it is


Auf Deutsch

To whom have I spoken these nights
when I've been sad and cold and
alone in my house?

Is it only a dreamed Figure, who I've
never met before and
will never see again?

Or is it maybe--
Is there perhaps a possibility, that--
Could it be a real person?

Maybe it is no person; instead
a Being from Heaven.
If I were to meet such a Creature,

I probably wouldn't recognize it.
But does that mean that it
is no heavenly Being?

I want to know
but I also want to leave everything
as it lies...

Perhaps this question is
one of those Questions, that one
may never find a satisfactory answer to.

Perhaps it is so.
Maybe not, but that is not important to me;
I only know that I am thankful.
