Poet: Ken Jordan Poem: Tulum Edited by: Sparkle Jordan written: October/2013 Tulum, in the morning sun, is like a diamond shining brighter than any diamond that your eye's will ever see - Only a few can say that they have seen this mythical wonder... the Mayan city, that stands on a rocky promontory overlooking the Caribbean sea - When you're here in this ancient city, you feel the spirit's of the Maya people, Who discovered this sacred place... the sea route that linked Mexico to Central America - During the time of the Maya people, the city was called Zama which means Dawn - At the turn of the twentieth century with the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors, the city's name changed to Tulum, In Maya language Tulum means Wall - It's inhabitants (around ten thousand) Mayan's, built a wall that surrounds the city, to protect there most precious buildings; called the ruins of Tulum - also Known as the Maya ruins - The most imposing building of all in Tulum, is El Castillo, (The Castle). From just outside of Tulum, you can see the ruins of El Castillo, that rest on the highest point in the city - Walking around, you will see other Maya ruins such as, Templo del Dios del Viento, (Wind's God Temple). Casa del Cenote, or (The House of the Well), just to name a few - There are many ruins in Tulum, about sixty structure's - So much beauty and history awaits you here - This oasis on the southeastern border of Mexico, in the state of Quintana Roo, along Mexico's Caribbean coastline on the Riviera, Is home to the world's most beautiful pristine white sandy beaches,...... it's spell bounding - If you're blessed to come here to this last known stronghold of the Maya people, you will stand in the presence of their life's history - Conversely, when you listen closely... ancient voices can be heard whispering through the wind of the Maya Ruins, it will leave you speechless - Tulum, in the setting sun, over the Caribbean sea, is like no other place on earth - : Ken Jordan Poem: Crossing Over Edited by: Sparkle Jordan written: September/2013 When I go, just know I'm crossing over, to that majestic place unknown - I'll be floating on a cloud of glory, and through the gates of heaven - Angels will be waiting, to welcome me home - on the bluff -
