Ghosts of the Ancestors
by Ela Lourenco
.
Spirits of my ancestors
Heed my call
I sit here broken
Heart shredded, alone
Faerie our motherland
Once wash with laughter and joy
Home of never-ending music
And glittering wings
Is no more
The shadows came
Vile creatures from below
Leeching all the colour and life
From our timeless race
I beseech you ancestors
Heed my call
I too am dying
But before I succumb
Lend me your powers
For my revenge…

Such a poignant poem – perfectly suits the prompt – love that hint of menace at the end
