| Legend Listen to the words of your people whatever their color, whatever their names. They have stories to tell and dreams of Creation and legends of heroes who fought in the night against nameless foes from the darkened abyss. They call you back, ancestors drumming to the world before when stories were more than seen from a box, and good and evil were real, and Hitlers and Vlads could find no excuse on the counselor's couch. And Spider Woman and Ariadne spun their webs of dreams, and Cerridwen birthed Talesin to sing the tales of Gods and men. First bard, that son, first poet. My soul's kin. Yasmine F. Galenorn |
