The Ancestors Rest Lightly

Lightly doeth the dead sleep
Still linked by silver cords
To those they loved,
The living.
I can feel them gather round,
Just beyond the veil and
In candle flames their smiles appear
As their whispers from the shadows
Tickle my mind.
“Do you remember this?” they ask.
And I do.
And I do in love and reverence
Tell their stories to the young
Whom never knew them
For their souls were gone before their birth.
I call them to my mind
Holding them in my heart
For when it comes my time to pass on
They will joyously be waiting
To fold me in their love again.

In the last days of Lokakuu
The dead rest lightly.
