Sleep Eludes..... Poem by malini kadir

The active mind
in hyper action.....
Each question
with umpteen sides
to evaluate
does desiccation bring to
Parched throat
Dry lips
Strange depression
Causes time to stagnate?
Is it less of physical activity?
The culprit to blame
Or is it the stress of modern living
The nuclear families
Tall walls,
Closing in?
Attitudes stubborn remind?
Enthusiasm
Slightly crush?
Brakes put away
Break not
Pause is must
Bend ….but not double
The balance
The mind seeks
The answers swim
Before the eyes
As Sleep fairy
Hugs …….
And all is pushed away
Curtains fall!
