Shine MY Lyte! POEM 2/05/09

Ancestors'

I descend while blue sky darken   As you ascend from dirt brown Taking with you on this upward climb The very essence of our existence .......................................I Struggle   I descend with a stroke of wisdom Knowing that the ink in this very able pen Can mark out fiction and imagine science as a beginning Understanding emptiness without conscious narratives Comprehension engraved by your being .................................................................I Strive     I descend when the hours are gone Wishing minutes were malleable In time I take hold realizing the legacy Not on paper but within generations Let not the measure of your character be gone ..........................................................I Strain   I descend respect towards your bones Asking for guidance as you lead on Rays of light inscribe your name As clocks wait this moment  I reach for "Kindred" and remember .................................................I SEEK Ancestors'   ©2006 Tamika LaShelle  "Kissed with Soul"
