Ancestors

~~~~

~~

Their songs

are still alive

within all of us

as we carry the colors 

of ancient lands

and their music

breathes

inside of our dreams

~

There are trees in Africa

with roots in the underworld

that grow into the sky

we each carry seeds
of eternal trees and an endless hope

bedded within this earth

reaching always

toward the spheres
of heaven

~

The guardians of life

watching over the world

timeless

and patient

the rhythm of wisdom

etched in each heartbeat

and each step taken

~

They travel at our side

our ancestors

they live within us

and we are all

thousands of years 

born and dying

into the beauty

of everything
