They came to me in a dream

Huge, life sized portraits

Lining an endless passageway

My ancestors came to me

Proud, haughty, noble and free

As I journeyed down the passageway

Each soul introduced himself to my spirit

I met the warrior,

Brave and fierce and victorious

I met the hunter

Keen and cunning and sly

I met the shaman,

Wise and knowlegdeable and pure

I met the queen

Maternal, elemental and superior

I met the chieftain

Regal and arrogant and tall

My spirit met my ancestors

My soul knew them all
