Tollan

The journey to Tollan
      is
The journey outward in,
Amaranth leaves falling
Darkness a shield from
                        light
                        wings
                        feathered
                        blood

When we converse with the gods
We converse with our own hearts.

To carry the gods within us
      is
Seeing the sacred city
In our world
And red-gold in the sun
And laughter in the dew.

In the birth of a child
      is
All our questions
And all answers, too.
