Reality Or Dreaming Poem by Ray Hansell

Sitting in my living room
Watching shadows on the wall
I watch them as they run
I see them stumble and fall

I see many shadows running
Yet, I see some who walk
If I listen very carefully
I can even hear them talk

I see them on my ceiling
Falling down the walls
Have I ended up in an abyss?
I have I taken the great fall?

I’m wondering if they see me
Just like I see them
Or am I invisible
Never to be seen again

I wonder, have I died?
And have gone to who knows where
I’m thinking if I’m dead
Does anyone really care?

Or am I just sleeping
Stuck inside a dream
But I have to say I’ll never know
What all of this may mean
