Glimmering in the night sky
The ancestors

Who dug the holes in the earth
Who lined up the stones
Who stretched canopies of leaves
And built the fires
And cooked the animals 
And planted the seeds
And gathered the fruits

Who formed the words
And made the love
And fought the battles 

The first of everything 
The last of everything 

The ancestors 
And all they gained
And all they lost 

Glimmering in the night sky
