No need for armor and sword

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

A descendent of slaves
Hammers his clapboards shut to...

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.

And stars shimmering in the dark

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

to some it is an escape,
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...

With sunset, they got dyed in varying shades,
Forming into configurations of differing shape and size!
