Ancestors' Walk

I walked their path
Through clay
and wild grass

Stolen sleep burns my eyes
These are the beginnings
and the end

I dream I am
Powers awaken
breathing ancestors' air

Stolen sleep burns my eyes....I love that picture this phrase creates. I can almost feel it as I write this, having gotten up way too early this morning!

Sometimes land has a tangible feel to it - of feet walking the same ground at a different time...magical!

....and what a lovely nature it is to share in thoughts of the lives they led.

Very nicely done, and so succinctly...
I love anything that works the ancestors in.
