A Winter Moon

Yes, it is a winter moon...
An island moon...
Rising out of the water,
Hanging over our island in all of its glory.
We had not planned to be here...
We do not spend time on the island during December...
But it was meant to be,
And it is wonderful,
This 'Island Time' in December.


Oh beautiful moon,
high above the palm trees,
like a diamond in the sky,
on a cold winter's night...


And then the rain came...
The winter wind howled and the rain poured...
And it was so cold...
A damp wet cold that chills you to the bone...
A cold that requires a fire, cashmere and hot mulled wine.


We closed the shutters,
sipped wine,
listened to Christmas music,
cooked homemade soup,
and sprinkled Christmas magic throughout the island house.




December is such a beautiful time of the year...
All dressed up in holiday style...

Blessings
