Luminarias

Luminarias
Valentina

Luminarias glowing in the desert night,
Candles in the paper bags, soft warm light.
Santa rides the border where the palm trees sway,
Christmas Spanish style on this holy day.

Farolitos line the streets of clay,
Children laugh while the guitars play.
Steel drums echo, wooden flutes reply,
Peace on the mesa, stars fill the sky.

Tamales on the table, stories retold,
Blankets on shoulders when the night gets cold.
Drums keep the rhythm, the reggae beats roll,
A fusion of spirits making one soul.

From the pueblos to the sea, hear the voices sing,
Every culture's gift for the newborn King.
Wood flutes whisper, steel drums chime,
Christmas Spanish style — timeless rhyme.
