A villanelle as I wait for midnight on a Saturday night.

The form is a villanelle and the music is by Roger Waters

Half An Hour And Then I Go

To The Realms Of Morpheus

Land Of Dreams Where Stories Grow

๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ

Midnight Is Calling, And So

Sleep Is Coming, There's No Fuss

Half An Hour And Then I Go

๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ

Minutes Tick, Want My Pillow

Climbing The Stairs, Raising Dust

Land Of Dreams Where Stories Grow

๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ

Time Stand Still, Or Is Very Slow

Mind Is Drifting, Rest Is A Must

Half An Hour And Then I Go

Want To Hear Cool Waters Flow

A Warm Bed That Is A Plus

Hearing Cooling Waters Flow

Calm My Heart, Rest Is A Plus

Half An Hour And Then I Go

Land Of Dreams Where Stories Grow
