Poem Title:
Poem
Through, Machu Picchu, Nazca Lines, Cusco, and tunnels Through jungle and raging water currents and channels Among ancient pyramids and Inca castles Looking for gold and emerald crystals Kayaking through a raging river down steep waterfall Just before the fall Fear makes you feel like you just swallowed your own soul As the kayak spins out of control You make it past the fall just to see A narrow river passage in front of thou Along the passage there are sharp rocks of which there are three This is danger but beyond it is your destiny You try to make it between first two But you will die if your aim is not true But passage is so narrow there is nothing else to do As the raging current pushes you down the river straight towards those two From the first one you slightly bounce Deep in a jungle you see Jaguar ready to pounce You make it between the two but victory yet you can’t announce For the third stone is there and not by chance The passage is anything but wide To make it through between rock and deadly walls of shore you tip kayak to the side But as you look into the passage you see that stories haven’t lied There is gold and jewels inside You rest your kayak on shore passed the entrance hole You feel strange presence in your soul There are hundreds of tons of gold but that is not all You see jaguar’s head carved of stone ornamenting the central wall As you look ahead of top of the jaguar’s skull beneath Of upper jaw’s underneath There is a ring between carved jaguar’s lower teeth Or actually resting on jaguar’s tongue behind the teeth The ring is the essence of all thought The jaguar is made of stone of destiny for which Gods themselves fought Mathematical nirvana in the ring is theory of expanding thought Levels of clairvoyance and nirvana in them through temporal vortex defines that thought
