Stubborn Reality
Night slumbers are a comfort
They offer succour from all hurt
Bed offers a genteel earth
Pillow with tears shed unshed cossets
Quilt offers a softest shell
Takes you away from everything banal
Waking up to a facile world
The spirit beaten and leaden
Thoughts scattered and obtuse
Mirror offers a lucid suggestion
Divine gratitude is the only Revelation
There is no choice but to face Stubborn Reality!
