Christmas Tree
Her lights shine upon this dim night
and through the dark she always brings back that feeling of Christmas joy
And through her you can relive the images, the amazing sight
as a child you would stare at the presents below her glistening lights
that would be boxes filled from everything from clothes to shoes or a new toy
and as your tender childlike hands shook the present back and forth
to see if you could hear the contents inside the colorful box of joy
and your fingers would be so fragile as you ripped open the package with only the force
that an exited child could have.
Yet over the years you have forgot many of the gift that you recieved
but there is still one blissful memory to which your mind and souls still cleave
for so many years as you opened present upon present there was one who like an angel
stood there tall and fair, and gave you the joy that you so desire
for it was her, the lights of the christmas tree where you guide.
And now that you feel so lost, wondering through a world that is but a dark void
you come around, even through all the stress, and find joy
when you sit around the Christmas Tree.
When the white blankets of snow began to fall and it seems like christmas spirits no longer call
You wandered through the dark, your heavy feat leaving footprints in the snow
and as you go, and go, and go, you wander toward the sight
for there in the void, seperate from the world, like so many others you find your christmas tree
and instead of tearing down it's roots, you decide
that in the forest where the tree can grow beautiful, it is true
and you bring your ornaments and lights to decorate the tree.
As you come by night, and follow the light
You find that sitting underneath the christmas tree is a small present
with a tiny white bow that seems to melt into the snow as if it is not there at all
but as you walk, and walk,
and your feet make sounds behind you. You reach out for the present in front of you.
and as your tender childlike hands shook the present back and forth
to see if you could hear the contents inside the silver box of joy
and your fingers would be so fragile as you ripped open the package with only the force
that an exited child could have.
You were reaquanted with the light, and once again you found
the joy of Christmas
on one cold Christmas night
Under the Christmas tree lights.
