Sleep Is Elusive [ Tanka ] Poem by Nudershada Cabanes

Sleep Is Elusive [ Tanka ]

Rating: 5.0


Sleep is elusive
Hard to catch with eyes open
And an active mind
Like a star beyond my reach
I'm longing for it tonight

I lost count of time
Tossing and turning in bed
Sleep is far away
An elusive star flying
In somebody's dream tonight
