Ancestral Shame-A Poem

Family lines,

Ties and love,

Unbroken chains from ancestors above.

They come from below,

The earth and the sea.

Speaking through you,

Set the lineage free.

Ask to be noticed,

A heart that demands.

The chain to be broken,

No longer grabbing my hand.

A branded type of love,

Where does the wandering soul go?

I ask to be released,

Let us make it so.

Breathe back the family lines.

Lineages of inheritance,

Traits and promises.

And none will be forgotten.

I ask you to stay,

To protect me from pain.

Instead,

We invite it and then feel the blame.

Shame defies me,

Asks me to lie in vain.

Lie to myself from lineages down the lane.

Mothers and sons,

Horses and foals.

Heart speed is one,

The stories that they hold.

Speak to the horses,

The times of the past.

Ask to go back and see,

Whatever has been making it last.

Ask for forgiveness from ancestral smite.

Lay down the energetics,

Bury them in the earth tonight.
