For Eva, Chicanita of the city's jungle <br />You carry the universe inside of you <br />This you should know <br />Star, sky flower that blooms when night is upon the earth <br />Holder of dreams, my dreams, without you I would lose my sense of place <br />Legendary being of Aztlan <br />I am honored to know you, to live in your time <br />Brown queen <br />My queen <br />Morrita of the royal yellow circle <br />Keeper of the secrets of the four directions <br />Metaphor of the dominant light (moon) of the night <br />Perfect image, unique image, light of my life <br />Daughter of Zapata's horse <br />Offspring of hope, New Hope <br />Red Indian Ciuatl <br />Rainbow gist, midnight sky, definition of the divine <br />Prairie between my heart and mind <br />People love you, people need you, I need you, and I love you <br />You are all these things, and more . . . <br />You are the poem of life, a living relic! <br />Look around you; I and everyone else are evidence of one the many things <br />The greatness you possess can create . . . <br />Don't give up! <br />Sister! Friend! Partner! Lover! Mija! Sky flower! <br />"Stubborn Star," remember what that means?<br /><br />Julian Figueroa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/legendary-being-of-aztlan/
