Sleepless Nights

troubled edge of dreams
a voice clearly cries my name
the voice of a child…

Lovely thoughts Tim can be seen in different ways, maybe its your voice, crying out like a child for all to be as it was....Seren

I bet it is an actual child right there by the side of your bed asking to sleep by you because of his own bad dream. Nice senryu.
