In my dreams...

(стихи моей дочери)


***

In my dreams,
I never sleep.
I am there,
watching, and being in my own world.
I become scared,
and lonely.
I become happy,
and then grievous.
I watch the waves roll around me,
and I feel as if nobody would ever come,
to say that they’re there for me.
I shiver in the cold,
and no one comes to offer a blanket.
I’m in the universe all alone,
with the emptiness swallowing me whole.
The stars shine with mocking beauty,
making me more frightened, and insecure.
I am more paralyzed with fear,
then I ever was when I was awake.
With nobody to comfort me, and tell me I’m safe,
I feel lost, and unwanted.
The winds that blow, from all directions,
make me unsteady on my feet.
When I thought it was the end,
I saw a hand,
reaching down, to free me from the jail of fright.
I felt a warm wave of love finally surround me,
and I grasped on the soft, caring hand,
that would lead me into a world full of care.
It lifted me up,
and covered me in a blanket that was called fortune.
It showed me light,
which was called care.
It showed me the waters of the Earth,
which were called vision.
It showed me the sun,
which was called love.
