The tree,
Alone,
Standing in the corner
The middle of May
Five months past
Christmas
Me
My sister
Begging for the tree to stay
A bit more
It looks so graceful.
It almost feels as if
The tree
My family
We’re all glowing
A deep soft warm
Yellow shimmer
In the spirit of Christmas,
Of all the holidays.
So now in the Kim family
It’s a tradition to
Keep the shimmering
Holiday
Spiritful tree
Until March
Or May
To keep the taste of
Christmas cookies
For the pine scent
To linger in the air
With us.
