Description
A beautiful poem that feels like a warm blanket in winter. I feel a cultural closeness to the poem as celebrating our ancestors is a part of life here. But, the poem becomes more than a cultural celebration, and can provide a sense of earthliness to anyone alive, anywhere in the world.

A dreamy realism; a "growing- up" poem; nostalgia that comes when we begin to appreciate hidden realities behind magical stories. A beautiful piece.
