The sky falls in love all over again, with the earth, witnessing
the glory of her covering, the freshly fallen snow
while the pine trees stand with approval
frozen air blushes
with the sweet crimson
of a sunset
in December.

A lovely way to describe a sunset, Nicodemas!
Thank you Erika! Earth and Sky are often in love, they even have arguments! LOL. Peace to you and rich blessings.
Oh, well, yes, they do have arguments …. lol… but the always find a way 😄
🙂 🙂 Pssst don’t tell anyone but when they argue is where the storms come from! LOL. Some winter arguments are the worst! Ahahaha.

I experienced just this yesterday while walking by the sea. You’ve captured the essence of a December sunset so well – beautiful picture too. The only thing missing here in the South of England is the snow which I’m sad about! 🙂
Thank you so much! England is such a beautiful place though, and many here would rather skip the snow and ice! I love your comments here, and thank you for reading. Peace to you and wonderful blessings.
Love your description of this magnificent sunset. We are living in such a beautiful world.
