Poem of the Week - Ode to the Tarot

Ode to the Tarot

Friend or enemy!

  Tell me the truth, tell me lies. 
Madness, ludicrous, die-cast, 
  Impelled depth, black hole. 

Frightened, a deck of cards but be, 
  Hands shake heart races. 
She told me to ask a question, 
  But one or two, no more she said. 

Unfamiliar cards lay before, 
  Past, Present Future to be told! 
Answers summoned, sunlit ray, 
  A whisper, soft voice. 

Champion or Foe! 
  Hope ascends. 
Expectation, reward unfolds, 
  Wisdom speaks, Serenity falls. 

Stillness, soothing calm descends,
  Blissful ground. 

Yielding, comfort swells within, 
  Peace surrounds.

                                 Moana Grace
