Mexico

In the not so distant past

fearful gods ruled

And the land was filled with danger

But, after many battles,

some still being fought,

the light

and flowers

won out

and colors shone through every where

And people flaunted them

Even in the most unlikely nooks and crannies.

The sun blazes everywhere, but the trees

and arches give shade

There is beauty framed in doorways

People dance in the streets

and practice for a dance of death

Now both things and people find places to rest

in light

and darkness

guarded by angels
