The Christmas Tree (12/16/2002)

I
stand
decorated
externally, only
outwardly putting
on the front of joy and
glory but underneath it all
I just want to be left alone
and lately, I feel artificial
but still, I stand there quietly
wearing your gaudy decorations
your flashing, cheerful lights and
hoping that I can be part of something
that might bring joy to your family
if
I
can

You are my cherished peach tree in my sacred garden. You cool me, soothing my seared skin safely away from the sun. Looking up a dazzling display of shadows and light dance across my warm cheeks, a colidascope through the leaves. Above me you hover, arms dancing for me in the breeze, roots beneath solid, though sometimes you may not believe so.

You are cherished in my heart and in my arms, my Beloved.

Amor tu Daniel

Interesting. :)

I never thought of what a Christmas tree must be thinking.

To be cut down, and still, in spite of the fact that it's life is not long remaining, trying to give joy. Hmm. :)

Thank you!
