Ancestral Threads

“ANCESTRAL THREADS” - karro moss, JUNE 2020

---

The moon she rises

before the dawn 

leaves starmaps in the sky 

of where we’ve come from 

The night is long

so take my hand

we’ll know our way home

by the footprints in the sand

Follow me through the fear 

come wash away your tears

to mend the pain

release the shame

of all that is untrue

If I carry the lantern 

will you kindle the flame?

of love transforming

sacred rage

to light a beauty way

If you chart out the map

I’ll liberate the key

let wander our love

the horizon of

imagination’s reach

With passion

our compass,

compassion

our mission

unconditional

love without limit

together we’ll rewrite

all of our infinites

If I build the vessel

will you set the course?

to a distant shore

where our ancestors’ 

dreaming makes us whole

If you bring the mystery

I’ll sing for us a song 

unraveling history 

for the threads we need

to weave ourselves anew (x3)

If I share your secrets

will you remember mine?

How could we ever hide

when the truth is

we are all divine

We carry

so fully

our dignity

allowing you

and trusting me

that is all

we need to see

all is provided

abundantly

together we

watch the rain

return

to the sea

We are all divine

You and I

Starshine.
