an ancestor blinks



 oh, young soul, your ancestors wait.

one day, your leggings
will feel too heavy.
your shoes will weigh
you down like two tons of lead.
even your bones
will abandon you, but don't be afraid.
you will be ready when the time comes.

wait til you see what is waiting here.
you are just the briefest blip
in time and we are here
in eternity waiting for you.
imagine, the first drop of blood
and how far you have come.
