CHRISTMAS COVER UP

12Dec
by deuxiemepeau

 

In the shadow of all its history,

in the sorrow behind its sparkle,

I sprinkle fairy lights on the drying roots

of this dying tree.

 

At the summit of all its beauty,

from the forest freshy felled,

I place a blood red rose on this tree

cut down from hope.

        🌟I’m sorry, Dami. I know this probably isn’t the forum for private chatter. But I do pray things get better fir you, whatever it is. I love the photo by the way. Gorgeous apartment. Thinking of you this holiday season 🎄

        Thanks my dearest! It will indeed get better! I still put up the tree so it’s not that bad. Take care and have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 🤗

    Things are more intense this time of year. I like the feel of the piece, as it contrasts with the beauty of the tree.
    This year, the first time in 5 years, we stayed home for Christmas so we put up a tree. It’s a very beautiful tree and I’m glad we put it up, but it holds no memories. Can’t do that yet.
    Best wishes, Damian!
