A Beautiful Day

It is the last day of December
My fir tree is standing
Undecorated in the garden
Under a full moon
And under a lonely star
I am sitting in my armchair
I am drinking coffee and I am listening to music
I appreciate these gracious 
Moments of distraction
Which help me forget my sadness
But it always comes back
Even though I keep trying 
To drive it away
I am approaching the window
And I see how the snow
Dressed my neglected fir tree
In a virgin wedding dress
It is bowing to the moon proudly
Under thousands and thousands of stars
I am standing amazed 
And I am starting to summon up my courage
To breathe
