My Dream

My Dream, how near You to the paths of my life!
your warmth is in my soul’s lightest wings!
how dear to me your breath, the glance of lovely eyes
and heavenly smile of your lips!

Broken hostage, I kept my flame behind
the prison bars of my conscious mind —
since I’ve met you first many lives ago,
then I knew at once: there’ll be more to go!

You’ve freed my feelings, you’ve unchained my mind,
holding my hands in yours, you've led me outside
of the darkest dungeons of my former “I”,
bringing me to the land of the boundless sky!

So I’m staying up there, looking into Your eyes,
singing sacred words of my confession to you,
hoping that they’ll reach you over thousands of miles,
bringing the path of your steps to my view!

My Dream, how near You to the paths of my life!
your warmth is in my soul’s lightest wings!
how dear to me your breath, the glance of lovely eyes
and heavenly smile of your lips!..
