“This Is the Dream” by Norwegian poet Olav H. Hauge

Last night I couldn’t sleep. I choose to read some poetry to go somewhere else for the night.  Now I share with you the poem that moved me the most.  I hope you enjoy it,

This Is the Dream by Norwegian poet Olav H. Hauge

This is the dream we carry through the world
that something fantastic will happen
that it has to happen
that time will open by itself
that doors shall open by themselves
that the heart will find itself open
that mountain springs will jump up
that the dream will open by itself
that we one early morning
will slip into a harbor
that we have never known.
