“Enjoying the sun?”

“Yes sir, I am.”

Moments before

I saw a barren tree

adorned with a single

star,

atop

the otherwise barren

branches. There I sat,

a calm day,

a reason

to rest and

Christmas as it were

blazing

devoid of any other

ornamentation.

We spoil ourselves

with decorations, tinsel

and lights and then

one way up high

as though the others

weren’t enough.

“Enjoying the sun?”

You bet I am.

Today it’s all I got.
