A Prayer for Healed and Wise Ancestors

O, ancient ones

whose spirits now reside

in the quiet depths of time.

Healed and wise,

your souls are free from mortal bonds

that still hold me.

You’ve walked the earth,

and moved beyond,

the bittersweet test,

of life in physical form.

Now and forever at peace,

I feel your gentle guidance,

as I move through the seasons,

of my evolving life.

Your love and wisdom,

kindle a hope within,

that has become my inner light -

this light is my guide,

and my connection to you.

Your strength and love,

enrich this earthly realm,

filling my soul with light.

I reach through the ages to clasp your hand,

the bonfire of your love and wisdom illuminates my way,

and I know that I am you, and you are me.

Today I honor your journey,

your legacy within my heart,

each beat an answer,

to the echo of your existence.

My reply is tender,

my reply is this -

I will tend my light,

with love and hope,

until my time comes,

to join with you,

once again.

And so it is.
