TulumPoet: 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...

Creating a pulse of separation
Culminating in divine union
Paths four for liberation
All found in the void...
