Last Night When I Was Sleeping.... Poem by Reva Kern

Last Night When I Was Sleeping....



Last night when I was sleeping
I dreamt a Holy Vision!
A flowing fountain
Inside my heart -
Tell me why it is
A hidden spring
comes to me
A spring of new life
From which I never sipped?

Last night when I was sleeping
I dreamt a Holy Vision!
A beehive inside my heart -
Golden bees made
white wax and sweet honey
from old sorrows -

Last night when I was sleeping
I dreamt a Holy Vision!
A brilliant sun burned
Inside my heart -
Blazing, giving off heat
Like a hearth -
It was sun
Because it shone
Because it made me moan -


Last night when I was sleeping
I dreamt a Holy Vision!
God inside my heart.
