la tilma

threshold memory (3) 

_____________________________

In the gentleness of your gaze 

there are so many eyes that hope.

You ,the humble and silent nativo

who walks the  hard path 

from the sacrificial  pyramid 

to the cross of the sacrified .

Of your poor woolen coat ,

winter roses are blooming 

and the star spangled celestial vision

takes shape ...

Virgin ,bringing the soothing  caress 

of her hand to all suffering .

Radiant beauty offering forgiveness

and reconciliation ...

You ,the proud  conquistador  

greedy for gold and power ,

 you get down on your knees  

facing the resplendent  garment ! 

Mixing your lordly blood 

with a local girl ...

I would also go there, to the sanctuary 

of the old city ,contemplating  

the mystery of the tilma ...

In the footsteps of pilgrims ,

the path will be welcoming 

and I\'d still listen to the divine symphony

of that distant day where the sword 

remained in its scabbard ...
