As I Lay Under the Tree
Here is just a short peom I wrote in under 10 minutes about how I feel when I can't sleep so I lay under the Christmas tree. I haven't written any poems in a few years so I'm sorry if it isn't that good.
As I Lay Under the Tree
I lay in bed
Unable to slumber
Dreams not reaching me
As time goes on.
I notice lights
On the ceiling
And they remind me
Of an old song.
I leave my room
And go down stairs
As the light grows
brighter still.
On the cold floor
As I lay
I look up
And feel a chill.
I am in a forest
In the night
The stars twinkle
As they fly free.
Oh, the joy
Of this blessed season
As I lay
under the tree.

Favorite part: "I am in a forest in the night. The stars twinkle as they fly free." As a kid, I used to lay under our Christmas tree too. : ) Your description captures exactly how I felt. You have talent...keep writing!
Just beautiful :)
Wow, just saw this. beautiful. so imaginative and engaging, I feel like i'm right there with you. I like the line, the stars twinkle as they fly free. and you describe the floor as cold and looking up into the tree as if you are laying the in forest. very cool. write us some more poems please : )
