10 December
oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree
of all the trees most lovely
in the early morning just before the sun comes up
or at twilight when the darkness steals into our little house
i sit in hushed softness
brought on by the wondrous awe
of tiny white lights in an evergreen tree
and for a time the natural world is standing in my living room
sharing its beauty
Very pretty words, I love the lights on the Christmas tree. Lovely photo. Have a happy day!
