Dragon Crystal Haiku

the red glow
of a dragon crystal ...
New Year's sunrise



FYI: "As a symbol of joy, celebration, vitality, success and good fortune, red is the luckiest color in Chinese culture. It's often used in important events such as weddings and festivals like Chinese New Year.

And the Year of the Dragon is believed to embody power, strength, good luck , and wisdom."

And my haiku could be read as a sequel to Marion's below:

New Year's sky
seeking that first
ray of light
