Laying in Bed

I was in class falling asleep so to keep me awake I just wrote about sleeping : )

At first the touch is cold

Then I pull up the covers

And they seem to hold me close

Laying my head on the pillow

I feel some relief

The tension eases as I try to fall asleep

My mind races a mile per second

Sighing as I roll over…

I wish it was just a bit warmer

The blankets hug my body

Protecting me as I transition

Into the world of dreams and apparitions

It’s an escape from my life;

Being as free as I can be

I’m a horse now

Running wild and free

Sometimes

I even have wings!

I lol'd at your description and this poem is very good. I liked the rhyme and how you explained yourself simply but very clearly.

Riding into your dreamworld as you drop to sleep is a supreme pleasure! The final lines are such a cool, cool escape — flying dreams are my favorite! Your poem expresses such a longing for freedom, n' then finds it....FABULOUS! ㋡

The poem is very good. We need sweet dreams and hope. I like the story and the ending was outstanding. To be free and wild is the last hope of youth. A excellent poem.

Thats exactly like I feel in bed. I always feel safe and relief under the covers and "My mind races a mile per second" as well. :) A lovely idea and beautifully written
