A Much Needed Rest

Last night I found myself just too tired to write, though I couldn't stop trying. With my notebook in my lap I sighed and leaned back into the soft plush pillow and rested my eyes for just a moment. A minute is all I need. I listen to the low murmur of moonlight sonata by Beethoven, not thinking of anything at all. I am drifting further into sleep at every second. I try to open my eyes but the weight of my eyelids is just too heavy. One more minute I tell myself as the music fades and I drift further and surrender myself to the quiet and peaceful sleep that I have needed for so long.
