A Christmas Tree! A Christmas Tree! Poem by David Keig
A Christmas Tree! A Christmas Tree!
A Christmas tree! A Christmas tree!
With dark green needled memories
Of childhood dreams and mysteries
Wrapped present-like in front of me.
A Christmas tree! A Christmas tree!
I glimpse a past wherein i see
The child that then grew into me
Not forward fast but haltingly.
A Christmas tree! A Christmas tree!
A time for being with family
A time that's gone so fleetingly
Yet lives for always deep in me.
A Christmas tree! A Christmas tree!
When twelfth night comes whole hauntingly
One lingered look and then i see
No Christmas tree where it would be.
A Christmas tree! A Christmas tree!
With feelings now felt longingly
No corner in my house to see
The magic of that Christmas tree.
Ghosts Of Christmas Trees Past Christmas in childhood eyes is a beautiful song sparkling... first memories happiness wonder good cheer tidings Christmas songs good will bubbling in merry laughter.... in old age cast mind back into childhood dreams mysteries colourful wrapped presents enchanting dazzling desired possibilities impatience is tiny fingers expectant minds... conversation is star dust monologue child's inability to tiny body contain joyful expectations glorious rich imagination images developed with pathos tragedy bliss tragedy bliss waiting waiting to open presents.... before final unbelievable Christmas Eve creeping dawning darkness dusk Christmas Day marvels care laid out so long unopened under silent Christmas... Tree happy glint decorations sparkles coloured flashing green strung lights charming calm beauty are our Christmas scenes light snow tumbling falls through windless dark... decades passing hauntingly suddenly when all family friends may be gone even without years past Christmas trees glorious magic of Christmas trees lingers....

(A Christmas Tree! A Christmas Tree! by David Keig.) **Brings back memories.
'A Christmas tree! A Christmas tree! With dark green needled memories Of childhood dreams and mysteries Wrapped present-like in front of me.' The whole poem is a beautiful song, the first stanzas are wonder and happiness, before the decline into the twelfth night hauntingly when family friends may be gone, but still even without the Christmas tree, the glorious 'magic of that Christmas tree' lingers 10+++
the Christmas tree tree of the divine blessings the Christmas tree tree of the mercy and forgiveness asking the Christmas tree tree of the knowledge of self being
Nice I enjoyed reading that made me think of lose, longing, accepting the loss, letting go‼️
