The Living Tree
A Christmas poem
All day long , the birds
weave their invisible garlands
around the tree, flying in and out
and round about
the evergreen branches
with the silver of their song.
And like a singing star
the redwinged blackbird
spreads bright wings
and tops the tree
caroling its melody
wild and free.
Glass ornaments for sale
glittering with tail feathers
grow pale
beside the beating heart,
of one real bird
and bring to mind
the "Emperor's Nightingale".
