This Is Our Night
๐ณ๐๏ธ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๏ธ๐ณ
Upon The Hill That Houses Their Tomb
Their Spirits Stand In A Holy Light
We See Them High Above The Cwm
They're Our Ancestors, Caring And Wise
๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฎ
Our Ancestors Return, This Is Our Night
They Have Come Back To Give Our Blessing
'Neath The Blue Leaved Tree, They Shine Their Light
On This Special Night, They Chant And Sing
๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฎ
We See The Doorway Stones Of The Stones
Spiral Spell From Our Ancestor's Light
They Cast Their Magic, In Sacred Tones
They Are Here For Us, This Is Our Night
๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฎ
They'll Be Here Again, They Were Before
This is The Night Of Our Ancestors

This is an image that speaks spiritually for the shades of blue and white. One feel closer to the one and the many.
Lovely and mystical poem. I too, always learn something from you Mike ๐ค
Lol, I thought cwm was a typo for cum until I saw Stephanie's comment. Loved your beautiful poem!
Coincidentally, the Hungry Ghost month here for Taoists ended last night, which meant that they sent their ancestors off. Timely tribute!
I love that I always learn something new when I read your work. This time it was the word โcwmโ. Lovely poem, and lovely image to go along with it.
Oh, lovely, Mike. I see a second book in the making <3
