The Chicabal Lake
sacred to the Mam Mayans
welcomed us with clouds.
--
The clouds dance fiercely.
The opening sky allows
a glimpse of the Lake.
--
At first it appears
small and inconspicuous,
peering from high up.
--
Slowly descending
into the sacred crater
through the rainforest.
--
Densely forested.
The trees thinning with each step -
and then there she is.
--
The Chicabal Lake
sacred to the Mam Mayans
welcomes us with love.
--
I bow down gently.
Its surface is as smooth as glass.
Pure serenity.
--
I feel gratitude.
Mother Nature blesses us.
Simply be present.
