Silent Ancestors

Missing image

On whispering gales, silent tidings sing
of Manitoo guarding our darkest hour.
Howling thunder; charcoal clouds
celebrate mystical words of power.

Enchantment rising as icy waters
flow; from increment wintry season.
Universal alignment of heavens stars
criss-cross skies providing reason.

Electrical window's locked in place
angelic's watch o'er human souls.
Offering direction; pick life's road
silence sung in blessings of gold.

Quiet! listen! for whispers true
ancestors observing me, you....

    Faith in any language, by any name claims the soul and feeds the earth the river of the divine. Beautifully said.
    Love, Tom B.

    The spirits of our ancestors rise up in our souls, and share their wisdom with us. Such it is, and such it always will be, for the white man and other tribes as well.

    As usual, beautiful imagery Dove, and a write that should mean something to us all.

    Aquene, I love you,

    So simple and beautiful. It's almost a prayer. You capture such emotional appeal in this poem. It makes me glad there are such spiritually enlightened people to deliver the needed message such as yours.
