Carved History

 

Lines trace a path

carved history

Stained aftermath

steeped in mystery

 

Blood spilled like ink

dried upon each page

Unbreakable link

consummated by age

  

Whispers unspoken

silenced tragically

Pilgrimage unbroken

preserved magically

 

Lines trace a path

carved history

Mortality's wrath

begets maturity

    Excellent expression on the history of our ancestors. Your rhyming is great!
    There is a lot of mystery in most of our ancestry. It is difficult to trace many of our relatives, and your poem tells this story so well.

    Good luck in the contest!
