Do you hear the sounds?
Ghosts dancing on the wind.
Cold breath forming a halo
in the night air.
Hear the feet stomping out
a rhythmic beat,
the thump, thump,
of the drums in the distant
echo of the past. Voices raised
...entreating,
summoning the spirits.
Awake, O Spirits, awake.
Come dance with us
in the moonlit fires,
in the passion
of their angry flames.
Empower us
for the new journey
that we must all take.
Can you hear the sounds
of ghosts dancing
across heavy skies?
Can you hear the snake rattles
hissing out a warning?
Do you see them...these ghosts
called to stand beside
all the fallen warriors.
