Reflection
Know your heritage, culture and identity!
Exclaimed my grandfather
In youthful arrogance and temerity
I trotted out showing irreverence
To one who was held in high esteem!
Life has an amazing way of revealing
The follies of youth!
In past life I rode high
On laurels and accolades
Did I know then that success is illusionary!
Reflection from the mirror showed
A face furrowed by life’s experiences!
I sighed with genuine remorse
For ignoring the wisdom of my elders
To pursue the path of spiritual awakening.
Today I graze up at the starry sky
Looking for a vision of my grandfather
Seeking forgiveness for acts of ignorance,
Arrogance and stupidity!
Losing ones cultural identity
Is a spiritual death
There is no resurrection!
