the wisdom of my ancestors
rages as a quiet rebellion compounded over generations
their subdued passion
lost in translation, faded over time
every poem, every affirmation
now channeled in a foreign tongue
a dissonance that threatens my very equanimity
reminders of an all-consuming darkness
to honor the shadow
is to embrace duality
all that i was, all that i am, all that i hope to be
unfolding in perfect alignment
i surrender to intentional perseverance
and the day i can sing their song
