Sleep Eluded Me

I laid down to

bed.  

But I thought of

you instead. 

Sleep eluded me

as visions of you

pursued me. 

Tight my eyes 

I squeezed

but still

you I could

see. 

The humming of little

wings become the 

melody

of the song 

you sing.  

I closed my eyes 

to sleep but you 

alone I see.

Just out of

reach. 

You and sleep.
