The Christmas Tree.
In The Northern Hemisphere,
where winter bites, and is severe,
people observe the solstice rites
of decking the boughs
that sparkle bright.
A festive custom people do’s
to celebrate life, that springs anew,
with evergreens
of vivid hue,
and fragrant pines
and mistletoe.
All around the Christmas Tree
we gather as a family,
whether related;
family or friends,
our sense of occasion
never ends.
Year after year,
for all our lives
we gather together,
perform the rites -
Pagan or Christian,
in The West,
our Christmas trees, we love
the best.
A focal point for any room,
or in the garden,
a subtle perfume
calms our senses,
and stills our minds,
as we count back years
of lives entwined.
