Constance La France Poet Tanka

Nothingness

  ~~

at night my spirit,
sinks into sweet nothingness . . .
I seek peace in sleep. 
my dreams like falling snowflakes . . .
each an image to treasure.

Casarah Nance September 3, 2014 at 6:42 PM Dreaming is such a beautiful thing, I haven't slept through the night since my baby was born, You poem makes me long for my eyes to close and snowflakes to fall on my face. It is lovely sweetie, best of luck in the tanka contest. Hugs :) Constance La France September 6, 2014 at 5:46 PM Casarah, thanks for your kind words, yes, I can imagine sleep is difficult with a little one - all I have are 2 meowing cats which can get pretty distracting at times ~~
