Her Christmas Tree

16 4 5
                                    

Pine scents and wine are

A forest's promise,

This slight evergreen

laden with memories:

Joy and pain – an

Angel laughing and

Glass, delicate like tears -

And the wisdom of owls.

Between proud limbs

Sparks of light speak hope,

And suddenly two

Thousand years

Seems slight, our stories

Writ, like His, in a tree.
