When I'm asleep
Olga Slobodkina-von Brömssen 1958 (Moscow)
"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?
Tell me, if you understand."
Job 38:4
When I'm asleep
my previous memory is alive...
I know what I mean -
it's not the memory
of my previous lives...
I can remember things
I had always known -
long before I came to the Earth...
when there was no Earth...
I don't know what my spirit was
when God was creating this world,
but the memory is alive...,
my previous memory...
