At the End of Emerald River
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
