A Sad Christmas Tree
Its branches droop somberly to the floor
Its bristles scattered around its base
Lowering the sparkling and glowing bolbs
As the globes are unhinged and the lights untwind from its canopies
Its once merry and strong scent, a mellow reminder to one's sense of the season
Up top its leafy branches, the angelic decoration is taken down from its pedestal and tucked into a box filled with the other decorations, awaiting another year
The tree, a ragged and stiff sight
Cloaked ina red blanket around its fickle trunk
Once covered with wrapped presents and bows
Its bristles continue to shake the floor like dried and shrivled tears
It is lowered with care,
carried by two loving and bundled up people who glance at each other with quiet smiles but meloncholy eyes
The tree is proped up on their shoulders and squeezed through the door with silent procession
Leaving an empty space once full of life an vigor and clear
