Tarot & I

A man called to me the other day, I don't know why ..
He had black hair & dark eyes. He beckoned smiling..
"But I am plagued with fright!" I thought, " I will not answer .."
& so I sought my cards for advice.
It turned out, he was a king this man ..
A king of the earth, a loyal friend, the cards said
"A friend!" I whispered,
"But I have the world on top of me,
I am earthbound and disappointed,
I do not see clearly!".
My throat clenched, this was going no where,
I turned to run ..

Only to find Karma staring into me!
"what have I done now!" I started,
"where is "wrong"! I do not understand".
Come now, Karma said, you reap what you sow.
& I give you a second chance
Of liberation.
For your spirit has grown.
With that she smiled and walked away..

I felt calm,
Karma had released me
I have paid my dues.
I looked back to see my past,
I saw bad luck & chaos.
I looked up ahead into my future,
& found that my bubble had burst,
I could see clearly again,
I have over come temptation,
I have eluded illusion & I am no longer captive.
The mystery is solved.

I started to smile & smile some more.

Then she came to me;The High Priestess,
Majestic in her opulence, humble in her grace,
A wise woman.
She took my hand & gently led me ..
To a grove of goddesses & dancing maidens.
She sat me down.. handed me a cup of wine,
And as I drank my fill & swayed to the maidens step,
My joy was obsolete.
When my thirst was quenched,
She turned & ran her slender fingers through my hair.
"Trust your intuition," she whispered,
"Your artistic gifts, & the forces that guide you"

"Go now!"

I stood to leave happy in my quest,
But as I turned, she called me ..
"Beware your cruelty," she said,
"For you are ultimately ..
The Fool".
She then disappeared.

It’s true I thought ..
I am the fool, missing the details!
I am the fool, trusting in abundance!
maybe hurting as I go..
I am the fool..
Ultimately the fool.

I ran back to my king, only to find that he had gone,
But I could only smile.
"You will come back," I though,
"You always do".
