Briefly Interrupted by Sleep

the only thing apart from death that might get in the way of love

                                                                             This is not a turning point,
                                                                       a parking place or reversing bay ..
                                                                   It is nothing, but a brief red light stop
                                                                 at the end, of yet another, very busy day ..

Sleep is for the weak! Of heart
how dare such a essential bodily function get in the way of love...but you'll be grouchy without it. And maybe a little unlikable which could also impact the love yearned for!!

 I'm very lucky to know that I'm loved! Nobody is particularly in love, but I am definitely loved...As for not being able to sleep (that happens more often than I'd like) but not due to being forlorna!! Haha
usually just something niggling away in my brain, did I turn the light off outside? Did I lock the door?, did I make sure the oven was of?

Sleep...its an odd thing really... when you think about it ... I mean when you really think about it. We just shut down. Shut down and dream ... we get nice ones if we're lucky! Apparently, in the old says we all slept in two shifts. We'd sleep for a bit, wake up do some chores (I expect Shakespeare grabbed quill and ink at this point) and then go back to bed and sleep for a bit more. From what I can gather, this 8 hours solid rest up is pretty new ...  in the perspective of social history. Apparently the bit in the middle of the two sleeps was called "the watch." 

Sweet dreams, my friend xx
