A lullaby

Who would have guessed it was Umrao Jaan that put me to sleep. All the songs in it were a lullaby for me.

So soothing how I knew them so well. The lyrics sad and lonely. Truthfully hearing the words I have listened and felt peace.

Only thing that jolted me out my sleep was the fact I was extremely cold. Time to get up out of the chair and head back to my bed.

My movie not even over but it was at a song I like. The turn in the movie. Still two hours left.

Indeed time for me to go lay my head inside a cocoon of pillows and covers. I say my good nights as the sun is beginning to peek through the darkness.

Slowly my eyes fall and I awaken quickly enough so I may finish this poem.

A soft sigh and long exhale as sleep begs for my tired soul to go to dreamland once more.

So good night and good morning
