borrowing sleep
from the scarecrow's sleeves
midnight frost                      (Basho)


envying its' freedom to be
sleepless eyes, faraway window         (Nimi)

Human Trafficking

Penning thoughts of what you are feeling how can I? A few days when in material comforts life's essence was changing he was dying I felt shattered I had so much still family, and love, and home what happens when you lose it all?

What am I returning to, I have a home? ©Nimi Arora Prompt by and Shared with- Poets United Midweek Motif - Human Trafficking
