my seventieth of this mundane existence

 

a miracle happened seventy years ago this month

to a young Mexican mother giving birth to a little

healthy person with two eyes, two arms, two Legs

and a heart, soon to be witnessed to be full of love

 

at the base of a grand city in Teotihuacan to spiritual

ancestry of Aztec and Toltec, myself transcendent of

an Eagle, but the miracle now, one of a human being

with aspirations to the writ of prose, poetry and verse

 

today i embrace this gift in the longevity of my life,

to have shared moments with other life beings

who have shown me to be witness in the circle of

friendship and love

 

for those of you who have traversed this path with

me, whether for a moment or many years, gracias

for your embrace, your warmth and for the memories

we share of the vicissitudes of this mundane sojourn

 

smile with me, today
