Nearly 3,000 strands of white lights have been strung on the trees lining Saratoga Boulevard, the entry to Prestwick Chase at Saratoga.
This is the third year the evergreen trees have been lit for the holidays and our residents get excited when they see Wayde from the maintenance department heading out in the bucket truck.
Among the resident clubs at Prestwick Chase is a poetry reading group that meets monthly in our library. Karen Veglia leads the group of writers that share their prose one Sunday afternoon each month.
The lights on the trees inspired her to pen the following:
Evergreen Trees
Evergreen trees
Are one of my
Favorite things
The snow-laden branches
Sigh I the wind
From the weight
Of the snow
The tree lights twinkle
They look to the stars
Copy their sheen
The trees follow the path
I slowly enter
Their colossal colonnade
With the heavens
As a roof
I know I am, again
