Myth of Tollan
Quetzalcoatl arises like a blossoming flower
Protruding through the coiled serpent’s mouth
Scales and feathers fused in majestic splendor
A pale bearded face shadowed by Popocatepetl
Dawn illuminates the ancient valley of Mexico
The temple of Tollan quietly awaits its master
Priests and magicians trek dark emerald forests
To reach the Veracruz coast overlooking the sea
The winds blow divine fragrance…
The trees bear sacred nectar fruit…
The ash and cinder an ominous sign…
The rains to baptize the city of dreams..
The asteroid to devour fragile Tenochtitlan….
