a dream...

Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt - marvelous error! -
that a spring was breaking out in my heart.
I said: Along which secret aqueduct,
oh water, are you coming to me,
water of a new life that I have never drunk?


Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt - marvelous error! -
that I had a beehive here inside my heart,
and the golden bees were making white combs
and sweet honey from my old failures.

Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt - marvelous error! -
that a fiery sun was giving light inside my heart.
It was fiery because I felt warmth as from a hearth,
and sun because it gave light
and brought tears to my eyes.

Last night, as I slept,
I dreamt - marvelous error! -
that it was God I had here inside my heart.
---Antonio Machado---
