Christmas time again time to shop and gain. Spare sometime to find a tree that is perfect just for me. A trip up the hill adorn with beauty still powder white snow glistening with the sun’s glow. Upon early cold dawn with summer long gone, cannot help to lie upon the sound snow covered ground. Snow angels to be found under my frame round and round giggle, laughter, so profound. Through the crowns of pinnacle trees bright sun burst around a Christmas tree excelling in its sight, emerald green arms to the light. Immerse in a dream an image of armor gleam tensile garland, lights, and glass ornaments presents under the tree and what it represents. A symbol of Christ, a sign of undying life. A Christmas tree of life. Left the snowy hill, my heart be still an artificial balsam fir and away from the chill. 12/12/2017
