star
blazing
atop
a tall
mighty fir
branches snowy
white and green
nature adorned
bent and bright in the
moonlit forest glade when
we stumble forward
through the crisp snow toward
our destination
pausing breathlessly to see
what our ancestors must have seen
when they named you evergreen
placing gifts not for their own
but for you and yew providing endlessly
cupboards chests and longbows for the fight
boughs gleaming glittering holy beacon in the night
hemlock
spruce
and pine tree
