This poem reflects my connection with my Native American ancestors.

 

Early Morning Light 

A mountain stream gently flowing, making its way through the snowy white valley.

 

The water reflecting orange and pink as the sun peeks over the snow covered mountain tops, their peaks touched by the early morning light.

As I walk through this valley, I feel the spirits of my ancestors who once gathered here.

They are here with me. I hear their voices in the wind. I can almost see their ancient tracks in the snow beneath my feet.

I feel their blood pulsing through my veins and I long to roam free as they did; I long to follow the call of the earth, of the sun, of the moon and of the heavens.

Great Spirit let me follow the path of the Ancient Ones. Let peace and harmony be my guide. Let me always appreciate the beauty before my eyes and let the spirits of my ancestors always be by my side.
