MY LATEST DREAM
I dreamed about my mother,
I saw her clearly,
strong and pretty
with a bright face,
as she looked
before losing her husband
and later her son...
Like once upon a time,
interestingly she spoke,
and I was just smiling...
Mom was making something,
and I was helping...
The phone was also heard...
Mom answered and said,
'here she is, a moment, please.'
Passing the receiver to me,
she whispered,
'your guy'...
I hear his cheerful voice,
he's asking, 'how are you,
what are you doing.'
'Nothing special,
we work and talk in the kitchen.'
'And how are you?'
I'm too shy in front of my Mom
to add, 'my love.'
Through a smile, he's responding,
'great, when are you coming,
I want to come for you.'
At that moment, I wake up,
and this beautiful dream disperse...
As I rub my eyes,
I smile, I feel calm,
blessed is my soul...
A wonderful start to the new day!
Happy that I dreamed about my mother,
for the first time since she has gone,
almost seventeen years ago,
I thought,
what was the message of this dream...
Soon, the first answer comes...
I am not alone,
I will be protected for ever,
by my Mom,
she lives in me,
as I had lived in her,
before she brought me
into this world.
And how could He appear in a dream
about my Mom?
She had passed away
long before I met him.
Did she come to my dream
to teach me,
be nice to that gentleman,
or,
be careful, he is admired by many women...
I haven't solved this dilemma yet,
but I realized that
the message of the dream
isn't important so much.
What's important is that I feel
safety, warmth and happiness,
whenever I think of it.
My recent dream gives me strength
in these hard times...!

Serbian Version of the Poem:
MOJ ZADNJI SAN
Sanjala sam svoju majku,
i jasno je vidjela,
stamenu i lijepu,
vedroga lica,
kao što je izgledala
prije gubitka muža,
a potom i sina...
Kao i nekada davno,
zanimljivo je pričala,
ja sam se samo smješkala...
Mama je nešto pravila,
a ja joj pomagala...
Čuo se i telefon....
Mama se javila i rekla, 'tu je, momenat.'
Dodajući mi slušalicu, šapnula je,
'tvoj dasa'...
Čujem njegov vedri glas,
pita, 'kako ste, šta radite.'
'Ništa posebno,
spremamo u kuhinji i pričamo.
A ti, kako si?'
Pred majkom me stid
da dodam, 'moja ljubavi'.
On, kroz osmijeh, odgovara,
'odlično,
kada dolazite,
želim da vas dočekam.'
U tom trenu se probudim,
rasprši mi se ovaj prelijepi san...
Dok trljam oči,
smiješim se, spokojna,
duša mi blažena...
Divan početak novoga dana!
Srećna što sam svoju majku sanjala,
prvi put otkako je nema,
skoro sedamnaest godina,
pomislih,
šta je poruka ovoga sna...
Prvi odgovor mi se javlja...
Nisam sama,
vječno će me čuvati
moja mama,
ona živi u meni
kao što sam ja živjela u njoj,
dok me nije na ovaj svijet donijela.
A kako to da mi se
u snu sa majkom
i On javlja?
Mama je otišla iz ovoga života
mnogo prije nego sam njega srela.
Da li mi je u san došla majka
da bi me poučila,
prema tom gospodinu budi fina,
ili,
pazi se, on je miljenik mnogih žena...
Ovu dilemu još nisam razriješila,
ali shvatih,
nije toliko važna poruka sna.
Važno je da osjećam
sigurnost, toplinu i sreću
kad god pomislim na njega.
Moj nedavni san daje mi snagu
u ovim teškim vremenima...!
