Shelter

"... masters of both configuration and color..."

Shelter

Effecting only one form of magic,
creatures,
bearing placid features
have become masters
of both configuration and color.
Their decided talent
presents as
the gift of imagination.

It is therefore strange,
that within their shelter
they cannot find
the charismatic fire needed
to attract the legions
to any flame
of what they call
their emancipation.
