He is on the horizon waving at me.
To be honest he looks a little like a clown. Okay, a lot like a clown, but that may just be my addled mind; I've just read a post about the circus by @Corbin5. He's merely a faint dot, a wee little thing, grinning manically. I keep zooming in on him, as if I have a telescope. I think he's a bit sad. I mean, I want Sleep to visit, and Sleep wants to visit, but there's a forest of brambles, a sea of sand dunes and a giant dozing cat that he must get through first. That would make anyone sad.
How can he rescue the princess and hold her as she drifts off to the Land of Nod if first he needs to spend hours fighting evil fae of the goblin variety in bramble infested forests?
Oh, but he is trying hard. I see his clown costume is fading, being replaced by clothing worthy of Robin Hood as he slashes his way through the obstacles. He is coming! My prince/clown/thing known as Sleep is on his way. Bless him. I hope he makes it before my alarm goes ring-a-ding-a-ling and I have to force my weary self out of bed.
Nightie-night.

I fell asleep fairly quickly, woke up and went to the loo in the dark and then stumbled back to bed assuming I wouldn't get back to sleep. The next thing I was aware of was my alarm chirping at me!

Thank you ... I appear to do my best stuff when I'm verging on sleep!

Then thank goodness he didn't kiss me. I would have been so angry with him for disrupting my dreams!

Thank you. I had no idea where this piece of writing was going when I started it. My mind goes a bit doolally sometimes!

@Poppylicious I say your mind is brilliant! I guess that's similar to "doolally". lol

I'm not sure they were sweet, but if not I've already forgotten them so they couldn't have been too horrid!
