So what are we really? Bonded albums of antiquity— Of peoples long long ago. A collected cache Of generations past— Albums of long ago. Oft were these folks unprepared Trials and want left them scared— Hopeful spirits of long long ago. Like an ocean atoll, This courageous ring of souls— Brave people of long ago. They ring our thinking; Sacred voices still singing— Their science of long, long ago. We each live a history That joins with past memories— Of people long ago. And when our album is closed, We will linger as echoes— Like peoples of long long ago

Nice people from the past and always good to read about them. Our Ancestors mean lots to us and we'll always be greatful to them and have long talks about them. Antiquity is meaningful in my life.

A broth of DNA traveling through time, we the vehicle, end of father and mother repeated consecutively, endless from the beginning. There but for choices of others we may or may not know, go we, or someone we could have been. Crown of creation, generation by generation. Interesting poem Mr. Schilken. Bob

Not sure what we are but, we do tend to ignore history and repeat it. Cool write. Be very interesting to see what history tells of us. ~ Morgan

Yes, we are what we eat and what our ancestors ate. Without them and their courage and struggle to survive, we would not exist. What artifacts they've left behind gives some clue into their lives, but modern living is so far removed from our distant ancestors, I daresay that most of us could not live that way anymore. Your poem raises many interesting thoughts.

You've touched an inner voice, spirit, yearning that we've all felt, and you've done it well. Great title also.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
