Mysterious Christmas Tree

Mysterious Christmas Tree

Far away on top of rounding mountain
Pine trees gather in the open snow
Twisting roads lead the children's sleds
Equipped with axes sharp, soon to perform
At dawn the boys and girls arrive
Seeking symmetries perfection
Selecting the best Christmas tree is blinding
When the gusting winds prevail and blow
A gold beacon small appears to dance
Above a gentle thick tree near the ledge
The children chop it down with care
Carry it away with light in tow 
One snow flake after another follows in the glow
As they go down

Hi SKAT! Nice to hear from you. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm sorry I can't tell you where the hovering gold light came from. Perhaps the children know but I'm afraid to ask them since they travel about with sharp axes. I guess the bigger question is; What are the children doing with sharp dangerous objects and where are their parents? Have a great holiday season and Merry Christmas. Take care. Earl
