A vast meander of pine, drenched in a decorative design.
Branches spread out far and wide, people swallowing their pride.
Inside sighed as darkness tried but couldn’t be supplied.
Light denied as children cried for the light implied.

Folks engulfed the mossy mountain of timberland.
A fountain of flame and faithfulness;
The peak – golden – as a celestial body consumes the surroundings.
Silence.
Everybody, from the white desert diverted to the depths of Alaska.
Silence.

Wintertime harmonies are dispersed as Christmas is rehearsed.
Cursed family gather, deeply immersed in the spirit.
Hear it, the light and lyric of giving, forgiving and living.
Treasure it – alongside those who you love.
