Erik Calderón

At Your Service

(Translated from Spanish by Catherine Prescott and HawaH)

In the name of yesterday, today and tomorrow,

I ask my great strength awakened,

to protect, care, teach, and serve,

and from this day forth

To stand with you in the face of injustice

Warrior ancestor return

How long is the way

till the hand of courage

Knocks on my door

I need not walk this path alone

When I open

Worlds, lives, years, reincarnations

clear our path, dissolve our actions

to understand life’s lessons

Strength, power, fame, fortune and beauty

are worldly things longed for. . .

When forgetting true happiness and success

are beyond the material world

Protect, care, teach, and serve,

a way of life,

to share my love and feel one

with all my brothers and sisters, until my last heartbeat.

Begins again.
