Tarot Poetry

Stars Of Orion

Listen to the wind blowing through the trees
Whispering timeless secrets to your heart.
Questions in your mind, lifted by the breeze
Drift like falling leaves as they depart.
Stars of Orion,
Twinkling in the midnight sky:
Feelings tell me I remember
Answers how and reasons why.

Listen to the sea pounding on the shore:
A dance it's danced a billion times before.
Sufferings in your soul, loosened by the sound,
Pour out on the ground and hurt no more.
Stars of Orion,
Twinkling in the midnight sky:
Feelings tell me I remember
Answers how and reasons why.

Angels in a dream, friends you know are true,
Take you to a doorway through the sun.
When you wake you'll know someone said to you
Things you came to do can now be done.
Stars of Orion,
Twinkling in the midnight sky:
Feelings tell me I remember
Answers how and reasons why.

XVII - The Star

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies. Where outside influences fail to stop us, our own pessimism can leave us unable to muster the effort to reach for our dreams. At times like this we need only look up at the night sky to have our faith rekindled. The lesson of the star is that the universe is a place of wonder and magic, beyond our understanding, where dreams can be realized and wishes fulfilled in amazing and unpredictable ways.
