TITIKAKA

by

Durlabh Singh

At the edge of lake Titikaka
I saw my face reflected
Under the canopy of reeds
Serving some dual purpose
One plea for the inhabitants
And another for aesthetic scries
Fair waters refracting a hue
In keeping with the azure skies.

Perplexing motions in froze
Amid alien corn
Appearing such no more.

Known by native Aymara
Mama Kota, the mother lake
For worship of the sun
By ancient Incas in glade
Where Manco Capac
Rose from the waters
To give ancestral law
In temples dedicated to
Divinity of sun and alters.

Around floating isles of Uros
Growing greens of totora reed
Shades of Taquila en waters
Reviving tales of ancient creed.
