Eliciting fear
Cast in the shadows of the elders
Lies dormant a past
Best kept at bay
Memories hidden
By those who intentionally forgot
The lessons never meant to learn
They cloud your vision
Like dusk’s fog on nature’s field
Keeping you immobile in time and place
A savior unseen clears the path
With each stroke of the pen
Writing the way forward
Through the wisdom of those who walked ahead.
