Tarot Dreams

“Maybe we will turn from the horoscope page to the Congressional Quarterly, and understand at last that our salvation lies not in our stars, but in ourselves.”
--Naomi Wolf

Kept in a velvet pouch
Only she holds access to them
Karma in those cards
If lost she’ll lose control
Her future in the wands cups  swords  pentacles
Destiny   fate      fortune
All those symbols holding so much power
Lives her life following recycled forecasts square-shaped dreams              
Feels like the hanged man without
Paper deities affirming her
Existence
But does she
Exist
Is she
Alive
Passing day after day being happy or sad depending
On the hand dealt the crossing of fingers
Sometimes it is more like prison
Not all her cards are good far from it
Yet
She has believed them for so long gullibility spreads like cancer in her head
Now  too broken     soulless to make her own path
Easier believing in something other than
Oneself
So she continues
Day after day never questioning
Her only fault being wishful
She lives in the clouds and follows the
Stars
Anything more would
Break her

welcome to pip!

i like this bit, especially with the quote at the begining. i am tempted to read it as pure allegory, but am unsure.

loveitloveitloveit--

there is a danger to Tarot and you exemplified with this write. I do read Tarot, but rarely and only if I have a good understanding of the person for whom I read. Never for children, either. and NEVER for myself anymore. (learned that one the hard way) aw...geez...I could go on and on, but just know that I do indeed LOVE this--and welcome!

I like this much...thanks

Sometimes Love is like awkward poetry, the words may not be just right
but when love comes freely from the heart the message sings!
