Kings



golden doors,, street lights, marching unicorns
limos, rolling carpets, lions and candle runways
Angelic voices aloud filling hollow halls
babies whispering throughout canyons, mountains, miles of valleys
doves flocking high a thousand stories into the sky
crystal stars in the night glowing shadows upon eyes
spokes spinning everywhere like yo-yo's doing butterflies
skyscrapers, bald eagles rising spreading wings
hopscotching, jumping jacks, pawns turned to Kings
trumpets, drummer boys, choirs echo
hood ornaments crowned, flakes, blankets of snow
the Lord of Rings, King of Kings, the Most High God
fear not, it's just salvation looking through windows ---
