I’ve written a poem and after seeing your artwork I think it goes perfectly with it! Beautiful piece! Love from a Passamaquoddy sistah 🩷🙏🏻
‘The Ancestors’
Where the ancestors are is where I wanna be…
But, I have to earn my place to be among such company…
They root for me and push when times are marching on
But, support me & love me when everything’s going wrong
I don’t need to see them, to know they’re always there
They make their presence known by the lift of energy in the air
They speak to me and hug me and sometimes just stand silent
When they know no words or whispers can make my steps compliant
I’m standing still in this moment just as they gather at my back
To let me feel their energy and get me back on track
Going off the rails is learning and coming through is understanding
The wisdom they show me does not always come with an easy soft healed landing
‘Cause they know I can take it when this journey brings me hard times
Even if I’ve ran myself into fields of exploding mines
For they’ve held my soul and breathed me into this new earthly being
And danced for me while singing once they saw I was finally seeing
This sacred circle of one to another that leads me back to them
I’ve made my mark, my tracks now fading, having grown a forest from a stem
The ancestors are now where I get to be…
I’ve earned my place to finally stand amongst such company….
