Some poems are exclusively uplifting and resonate beauty, while others are exclusively unsettling, evoking some darkness within them. Still, other poems combine the two, light and dark, to play back and forth on beauty and the unknown.

All of us are born in time, traveling down our measured time lines in blind faith that the moments before us shall continue to unfold without end, that the beauty of creation flows from an infinite wellspring. Come, wake from the big sleep and join Cosamado as the veils fall and it is revealed to him that the creators of time have decreed that time shall flow no more.Stars fall, light fades as the young Mayan priest climbs the 49 steps to the pinnacle of the great pyramid at Uxmal....
