Son of Costa Rica
Leads us down river path
With angelic sun smile
He points to howler monkeys
Climbing high in trees
Where dreams bloom
His soul steeped in coffee
As he unpeels banana blossom

Until we arrive at time’s beginning
Where cool water flows
Over rocky stream bed
Our plastic raft
Takes us into deepening sunshine
Like a leaf broken from
A rubber plant stem
To float down the watercourse way


Until a flock of dark feathered birds
Gathered on shore
Are summoned by his call
To rise in wave of wonder
Turning like ballet flyers
To soar in cloud of love

But his voice ebbs and flows
Like the wind blowing the leaves
On a pilgrimage
Through the golden light of heaven
