Lights twinkle
red, blue, green
dazzling in the dark
Â
Cornwall has its ‘Welcome Home’ trees,
ours less well known
but just as welcome a sight
Â
Not long moved
back ‘home’ to see family,
dark night, pouring rain
Â
sad to leave
displaced,
not quite belonging.
Â
Out of the gloom they emerge
in all their seasonal brilliance
the guardians on the hill
Â
watching over our slumbering town;
one in the valley,
one on the crest
Â
and without warning, the feeling of belonging,
open arms
welcoming us home.
