Dreams and Bliss: Dostoyevsky's Paradox

Reading Dostoyevsky 
on an icy April morning 
makes for strange moods:

the tender fears 
of lovers and dreamers 
are carefully unveiled
and left to make us wonder 
why moments of bliss 
can never last 
a lifetime.

The very nature 
of those lost moments
                        (fleeting and poignant)
will return to us 
on long evenings
only to 
render our dreams useless 
and make the mundane 
all the more real.
