Lest we forget:
Retraced ancestral path
Standing in the “door of no return”
The beauty of the vista before me obliterated
I see instead anguish of fore-parents
Shackled, stolen into slavery

Wonderfully done!
Might I suggest that instead of linking to my blog, you link to Sammi’s – she is the hostess and, as a result, more people will get a chance to see and read your wonderful 29 words. Here is the link to Sammi’s post: https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2021/03/13/weekend-writing-prompt-200-vista/
