ancestral mirror

In the mirror of my soul

I saw a hundred reflections

Spanning back across generations

Here within these deeply echoing moments

of inner perception

I find your soul

Resonating within my feelings

As they flow

And so it is

I know myself

As indivisible and yet paradoxically

Seperate from you

Why do we believe the lie of splintering

We seem to have lost the way

To truths that say

Love was the basis of everything

Until our hearts and minds were led astray

By endless powers of severing and dismay

That were all a part of our ancestors

Struggle to survive

Sad it is when

These hidden emotional proofs of life

Drown deep within

The ocean of forgetting

In truth

Ancestral lives flowed

Birthing each of us along this winding path

Of soul evolution

Hurt and the longing in our soul

Setting us to search for

For the missing connection

Wandering along a long

And often lonely path

Of infinite twists and turns

Into the coiling maze

Of our spiral helix DNA

As we unwind the complex tendrils

Of desire longing and pain

Stretching far along these

Winding halls of ancestral feeling

Witnessing our reflections appearing

As loves ones are dissolving and disappearing

Amidst the swirling mists

Of ancestral mirrors
