summer me
a new day
with rays of love
breeze me
a new sea
with waves
of white horses
I follow my heart
leap forward
into a zone
where ancestors
have flown
so fast
their light
still flickers
inside
my soul
enjoying
the ride

I enjoyed your flickering ancestral flame, Xenia, especially the lines:
‘breeze me

It’s a lovely sunny afternoon – I hope you’re out and about and enjoying it with Eivor and Pearl

I love the idea of ancestors’ light still flickering in our souls. I like to think that the light of our dogs flickers on as well, long after they are gone from this world. Perhaps Eivor’s ancestors were the ones you meant. 🙂 As usual, the pictures are wonderful, too.

Thank you for your kind words Linda 💜 When I saw a flicker of Eivor’s ancestors in his eyes it mirrored the ancestral flame in my own subconscious. I too believe the light in our dogs flickers on after they cross the rainbow ☺🐾🐾
