Farolitos on Christmas eve
the most beautiful night I believe
cider by the bonfire
singing with the choir
biscochitos
hot burritos
and people launching
starbound farolitos
lighting the way
for the infant Christ
the luminous path inticed
from bonfire song to bonfire song
we wander the lighted path and sing along
until the chill sinks in our bones
and we know it’s time to go home
to wake on Christmas morn
to the Christ child being born
