I'm not Native American
I think it's important to start this stating that
my children and ex-are Native American

my children's grandmother long since passed on
often appears to me in dreams
she did so last night
I couldn't shake the dream

I am no dream interpreter
so I have no understanding what it means
just the drive to write it down

it began, I was on an archeological dig
they were carrying out works of art and texts
asking what I would carry
I said the texts as they were of most important
answering it's all in the ancient words of a people

then my mother in law appeared
we were at the ocean
great lines of seals were sunning themselves
she said they know all
but beware they love to gossip

I looked and saw a massive seal with pink eyes
she was blind
I peered into her giant eyes and became frightened
she showed me what she knew
I beheld all that occurred from the beginning of time

my children appeared to me in my dream
we interacted while their grandmother looked on
she told me I carry the texts in my heart
I was a dream-seer

her grandchildren are precious to her
I was to carry the words within me
out to the next generation
