I am the one who walks

on the death of my past, standing

on the lives of others;

those who came before,

ancestral linage

growing through time,

humanity; a leaf on my family tree

generation through generation,

from death, through life, to me

I am the one who sits

beside my history,

gently uncovering,

my lineage

that which came before,

dark realms of consciousness

hidden, buried, killed.

I am the one who digs

uncovering lessons;

honoring the mystery

over and over again.

I am the one who is birthed

fragile, amazing, raw;

a breath on the journey

a dance towards death

and rebirth

part of a larger story,

a faceless entity, rebirthing

a seed of the past

rooted in the now

growing through infinity.
