World Poetry Day

In Praise of dreams by Wislawa Szymborska

In my dreams

I paint like Vermeer van Delft.

I speak fluent Greek

and not just with the living.

....

I am gifted

and write mighty epics.

...

My brilliance as a pianist

would stun you.

I fly the way we ought to.

i.e, on my own.

I've got no problem

breathing under water.

I can't complain:

I've been able to locate Atlantis.

...

A few years ago

I saw two suns.

And the night before last a penguin,

clear as day.

Vermeer van Delft

What can you do in your dreams?
