Said adieu and you did not stay o!
So soon you forgot those ones?						

The one you met and greeted in clan,
During moon, storm, wind,...

when came down the road, a most curious sight.

No need for armor and sword

on to the railway platform
A hot wave of salty moist air

Stepping down the hill slope
On the slippery roots

The story's told from year to year,
How Magi saw a Star appear.
Of shepherds in a field by night,
And choirs of Angels singing bright.

His feet moving to the beat of the drum
And the soft chanting of...

Entice the essence of the word 
A lexicon of value heard 
A luxury of words astute

for people who think they’re a mistake,
their life, trying to remake.

Thinking thoughts that hid in the darkness,
hoping they don’t shed light before the date,
the date...

Forming into configurations of differing shape and size!
