We Rise...
From the swirling mists
of the ancestral past, we rise,
embodiments of spirit
take shape before our eyes.
We rise, our ancestor’s
wisdom in our souls,
a true site of wonder
it is to behold.
We rise, their proverbs
embedded in our hearts
create a formidably
indelible mark.
We rise, taking shape from the past
to carry on into the future
we are the new breed of spirit healers
and teachers of our youths.
We rise, new leaders of the world
yet we remain human and fallible,
we will never loosen our hold
over our cultural beliefs and parables.
We always rise…
of the ancestral past, we rise,
embodiments of spirit
take shape before our eyes.
We rise, our ancestor’s
wisdom in our souls,
a true site of wonder
it is to behold.
We rise, their proverbs
embedded in our hearts
create a formidably
indelible mark.
We rise, taking shape from the past
to carry on into the future
we are the new breed of spirit healers
and teachers of our youths.
We rise, new leaders of the world
yet we remain human and fallible,
we will never loosen our hold
over our cultural beliefs and parables.
We always rise…

A splendid work, Gypsy, and an excellently put philosophical point of order as well! Indeed, we are... all of us... the receptacles for all that our ancestors were and all that they can, through our present deeds, become. Each person who lives, is living history... each life is a story and a tale... and each heart bears within it the poetry of its' destiny, even if it be a destiny of one's own making or one imposed by some divinity mayhaps. No two fates are the same; no two lives are identical, yet we all rise from the depths... if only for a moment... and sometimes we can seize that moment and create a positive change in the world. These are the musings this poem brings to my mind, and they are welcome musings indeed! Well written poetry, Gypsy, as ever. :)

Jess it is wonderful to see you and that our humble piece has brought forth such wonderful musings is a blessing upon us all. This piece was based on spiritual/philosophical beliefs that I and Brother Tunde share and put to paper. I am so very happy that is being well received. Thank you
