Sleep

Under my pillow
I bed my darkest secrets,
Over my still head
I keep my brightest star dreams;
Sleep lies somewhere in between.

Hi Phil, an excellent tanka my friend. I came here because of the name and i find myself a little gem. I really like the content of this Tanka. You take us to where sleep lies and the beauty of dreams is found. A well thought out piece of poetry Phil. This is a definite seven....Mike.
