The Woman from Afghanistan

  • She entered my office in the German town,
    bringing the fragrance of sweet-scented flowers.
    She carried her braid like a majestic crown:
    A woman who had some incredble powers.

    Her eyes were reflecting the world in her soul:
    A woman created for love and delight,
    But she was in deepest depression devoured,
    Although her strength hid her sadness from sight.

    It seemed all her faith in humans was vanished
    And it was only God who helped her to survive:
    She fled from her land, from where she was banished,
    From everything dearest she was deprived.

    I cannot remember her name, but her face
    Will always remind me the strength of her stand:
    A woman possessing such power and grace
    The beautiful woman from Afghanistan.
