 * * * Notice in the lines of "X" are arrowheads which meet precise the corners called notorious North and South and West and East the center of the cross contains the force which many fools in vain journey paths all trodden dead vainglorious defeat. I felt the trembling of four legs of that pale horse of yore-- the bones had gathered for the reigns to guide the dream equine to me a test of truth and loyalty: I'll drop my robe and crown and free my will from fancied royalty-- all misconceptions of the stone. Many are the mysteries-- I kept my eye upon the cloth: The banner of The Mystic Rose birthed tears to dear Persephone. The children laugh because they know the petals drop from Mary's Gold the setting of the sun sets seed regenerating blessedly as the Reaper comes for me without regard for caste or plea. I close my eyes and dream of sleep, a weary warrior again. The Hermit came to cover me, his lantern flickering ascent Choose ignoring bruise and bleed: It's for this battle ye were bred. My swollen eye watched the sun set. I drank the blood my lips had wept startling myself adept with laughter pain and not-dead-yet. * * * * * |

The Hermit came to cover me, his lantern flickering ascent Choose ignoring bruise and bleed: It's for this battle ye were bred. My swollen eye watched the sun set. I drank the blood my lips had wept startling myself adept with laughter pain and not-dead-yet. So powerfully expressed, dear Karen! Enjoyed your ponderings. Love, Margherita |

There are so many reasons why I love this (one being that I need to read it a lot more to understand it more!). A perfect Serenity Blaze poem showing your sensitive, powerful spirit, courage and honesty through and through - not to mention your stunning creative talent! - Owl |

"My swollen eye watched the sun set. I drank the blood my lips had wept startling myself adept with laughter pain and not-dead-yet." The way you see and think makes me envious. You have so many gifts and talents. I don't claim understanding of it all but what I get I find brilliant. love you Karen.  "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Shuffling the Tarot deck again? Someday, I must sit 'neath a gingko tree and learn of such things. |
