Last night, as I was sleeping (by Antonio Machado)

 English version by Ivan M. Granger

 

          Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt -- blessed vision! --
that a fountain flowed
here in my heart.
I said: Why, O water, have you come
along this secret waterway,
spring of new life,
which I have never tasted?

          Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt -- blessed vision! --
that I had a beehive
here in my heart;
and the golden bees
were making
from all my old sorrows
white wax and sweet honey.

          Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt -- blessed vision! --
a blazing sun shone
here in my heart.
It was blazing because it gave heat
from a red home,
and it was sun because it gave light
and because it made me weep.

          Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt -- blessed vision! --
that it was God I had
here in my heart.

“Time and space are not conditions in which we live, but modes by which we think. Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, determined by the external world.”

The Breeze at Dawn (by Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi)

 

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.

You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.

People are going back and forth
across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.

The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep.
