Ancestral Visit

Ancestral Visit

Floating the tar
Whirlwinds roar afar
Leaving in its wake
Dusts to their fate

Our ancestors are come
From a beyond, formless
A turn to left and right
Scolding juveniles at night

The stones begin to roar
As frights take to soar
Like flowers will shrink
All faces would shriek

Pray, mercy we ask
Burden not such a task
On generations behind
Ruler ship of the blind

War for preservation
Your heirs race extinction
Dangers siege the homestead
Grant nothing else instead.
