Reality by Dorothy Livesay

Taken from The Ryerson Press Archive, today's poem is by acclaimed female Canadian poet, Dorothy Livesay.

Reality

Encased in the hard, bright shell of my dreams

How sudden now to wake

And find the night still passing overhead,

The wind still crying in the naked trees,

Myself alone, within a narrow bed.

Dorothy Livesay

Because sometimes this is simply how life feels.

Hope there was some happiness in your Easter.
