All the gifts given, <br />ribbons and papers <br />lay tossed on the floor <br />separated and finished, <br />their purpose fulfilled. <br /> <br />Lights still glimmer <br />on the tree, <br />though not as brightly <br />in calmer moments <br />where a gentle peace <br />has settled in the house. <br /> <br />Christmas is ending; <br />this is the time <br />to relax and lay low, <br />have a little wine, <br />and bask in the afterglow.<br /><br />Carolyn Brunelle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/laying-low-2/
