First Nations Heritage

A reflective prose poem encapsulating the profound heritage and resilient spirit of First Nations, told through a tapestry of single-word lines and emotionally charged imagery.

Elders' Echo

Ancient whispers.

Tales.

Dancing around fires, under stars uncounted.

The drum's heartbeat, steady, rhythmic.

Ancestors.

Their strength woven into every sinew, every song.

Stories.

Land.

Their footsteps, deep in the soil.

Mountains, rivers, skies - their canvas.

Resilience.

Traditions.

Held close, passed down.

Fingers weaving, words teaching.

Children learning, culture breathing.

Continuity.

Loss.

Tears like rivers, carving history's face.

Struggle.

Yet, unyielding spirit, unbroken.

Hope.

New voices rising, blending old and new.

Heritage.

A tapestry, rich, endless.

Dreams.

Rooted in past wisdom, reaching for tomorrow's light.

Unity.

Elders' echo.

In every heartbeat, every breath.

Everlasting.
