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
