Sunrise over Urubamba

Sunrise over Urubamba
from Travels

Every palate of kind-full colors
From the flag of the visible Inca
Spectrum was to be seen, warmer – colder
Lights. Ones that eliminate the Inca
Beloved darkness – black – from the sacred site.
The gallant guardhouse, over Urubamba,
Can watch the powerful sun god exert might
Of light over the peaks onto Vilcabamba.

The sun carves the peaks of Urubamba
Meticulously sharp, over the sacred
City of Machu Picchu onto the end
Range of Urubamba. Though there exists
A lack of vivid varying color,
Sunrise shined truth – why the sun – Earth’s mother.
