Spectacular Sunrise

When new sunrise wears its  russet attire
Young jasmines blaze through  an inner fire;
Heady is the mist  with scent of flowers
A  perfume pervading cold morning hours:
Beams cruising gently     their lacquer aglow
In December's pageant  when dawn drifts low. 

Sweet the  splendor  of hours lifting the air
While auroral carpet glints everywhere,
Little moths fleeting where frosty waves curl 
To renew beginnings as dreams unfurl--
Afloat on a crest of life's  promised rays
Setting the stage for Midwinter Days.

Joyfully,  time breaths of hope for a while
For lustrous sunshine    my senses beguile!

How lovely this poem is Nette! I wouldn't want to be Kim. From what I have read so far, she will have a very difficult choice. Hoping you have a Happy New Year! Aloha, Connie : )
