December Magic

December eve wakes for me. Enamored by a million stars in a widening sky, it shines down on a frigid desert floor, and I, in wonder, spy beauty of a Joshua tree. The fire, sparkling like a gown, dances on branches lifted in prayer of silver crown.

This one is very beautifully worded, Rhonda. I can't remember what a Joshua tree is but I think it sounds really nice with December magic! Congrats for your win.

Hi, Debbie, welcome back...I had a cold desert night under the stars in mind, but it does sound like a description of the northern lights now that you mention it! Thanks for the comment and a happy new year to you, too...hugs, Rhonda
