The emerald river

You inhale and exhale knowledge.

The river is green and deep.

The longer you walk,

The more relaxed you feel.

You listen to Mayan

Songs and legends,

Looking at colourful butterflies

And poisonous spiders.

The Amazon jungle is enormous and alluring,

You take one step after another

And drown in this emerald wave.

It shines with tucan's feathers,

It sings like tropical frogs,

Hisses like serpents.

Under a veil of sundown

You fall asleep

And rise up early

To go deeper

Into the forest.
