Quetzalacatengo

Pilgrim of jeweled lands trips into a dream,

serpent coiled on a vein of rivers in the air.

Butterfly hypnotized by his visions.

Tortoise crawls from under the shattered sun.

Pyramids trace the sky over violet sands

Telling tracks of his guide point toward the strands

of a life left unbound to a companion.

Fragments of his reverie fading away.

Wander the fire-laden mountains of ecstasy

and all the mysterious voyage can guarantee.

Beholden to love, a lighthouse stands above

but the beacon is blurred as answers are revealed.

All obscured, her allure sparks affection,

he holds aloft the starlight shining to sea.

Wander the ice-laden canyons within your eyes

for the mysterious voyage shall mesmerize.

Thanks for introducing Quetzalacatengo through poetry! Will now embark ona a personal journey with this as a guide. Wandering through its history and lore. Perhaps develop a thirst for more. Thanks for sharing!
