Tarot
*****

I shuffle up the cards,
With a question on my mind,
And then deal out a Celtic spread,
To see what I may find.

The first card is the Cover.
It presents my frame of thought.
It shows a bunch of questions,
My subconcious mind has wrought.

The second card doth Cross me,
With forces that oppose.
It indicates the influences,
Of conflicts that arose.

The third is called the Crown card,
For it holds my aspirations.
It tells me where I want to be,
Among life's many stations.

The Base card is the fourth drawn,
But it isn't placed to flatter.
It provides me with a glimpse,
Of the foundation of the matter.

Behind me is the fifth card,
Showing influence that's past.
It represents a guiding force,
That did not seem to last.

The sixth card falls Before me,
To point out potential ends,
With a vision of the future,
If I neglect to change my trends.

The seventh card is named Myself.
It shows my attitude.
I gain insightfull outlooks,
For this knowledge is my food.

Card eight is my Environment.
It's my friends and family.
Their point of view's apparent,
And perspective comes to me.

My Hopes & Fears' the ninth card,
Telling me what to expect.
Possibilities lie there,
To accept or to reject.

Card ten's the Culmination,
Of all suggestions drawn.
It defines a clearer view,
Of my future's brand new dawn.

The spread is now completed,
With a summarizing look,
Of where I'll end up filling in,
Life's cozy little nook.

Heart of Tears
************

There's a hole in my heart,
That's as wide as the moon,
And I can not seem to mend it.

There's a crack in my soul,
Filling me with such pain,
And I wish that I could end it.

There's a letter of love,
That just waits to be mailed,
But I don't know where to send it.

And this hole in my heart,
Grows a little each year,
As I struggle to patch and mend it.

There's a tear in my eye,
Feeling salty and warm,
And it reappears each day.

There's a list in my mind,
Where sad memories fall,
And that's where they always stay.

There's a part of my world,
That is empty and cold.
Will it always be that way?

And the tears in my eyes,
Fill the hole in my heart,
As I wait for a happier day

Destination Unknown
*****************

The cards have been drawn,
And the crystals are cast.
The candles still burn,
Yet the moment is past.

Planetary alignments,
Show that which is sought.
What path shall I follow?
I don't know. I forgot.

My memory fails me,
Time and again,
As if there were wires,
Criss-srossed in my brain.

The knowledge I seek,
Lost to chaotic thought,
And directions required,
Are revealed to me not.

The future's road beckons,
From many a hand,
So full of distractions,
Across astral and land.

My mind is a shambles,
And my aura's a wreck,
While I cast out the runes,
And re-shuffle the deck.

After much caclulation,
I search for my path,
But with wisdom so clouded,
Just can't do the math.

I'm adrift in a desert,
Feeling crowded and lost,
On a raft with no paddle,
Being battered and tossed.

Why can't I remember,
These lessons I learn?
Frustrated and angry,
My soul starts to burn.

Confused about destiny,
Turning vacant and cold,
Yet still looking for answers,
As I grow frail and old.

The moon's in it's quarter,
But my fast does not end.
I search for the visions,
Clouded memories send.

Alone I will wander,
With no end being near.
Just to lose concentration,
Is a thought that I fear.

The pattern's dismaying.
Dense fog blocks my trail.
In search of life's station,
But I fear I will fail.

So full of mixed ideas,
And no clue which to choose.
I must make this decision,
Come what may. Win or lose.

I chart the stars and planets,
Then I deal another hand,
Vainly sifting through the ether,
In this mystifying land.

I do not know the questions,
To the answers that I find,
And the madness of my soul,
Invades the limbo of my mind.

This conflict and confusion,
Tries to drive me quite insane,
Yet I race in new directions,
In attempt to soothe the pain.

Am I too proud to seek assistance,
Or did I just not think to ask?
Could it be I need a hand,
In the completion of my task?

It saddens me to think,
That I forgot more than I know.
I feel a lack of knowledge,
What to do and where to go.

In my youth I had a vision,
Of a future that was grand,
But that vision slipped and vanished,
Like a single grain of sand.

Like a brief dream soon forgotten,
Such ambitions fade away,
To be lost by faulty memory,
With the coming of next day.

I quest for signs and portends,
But the knowledge that I find,
Soon fades away to shadows,
In the caverns of my mind.

I try using intuition,
To seek, to find, to know,
Simple answers to some questions,
Yet solutions fail to show.

I'm a lost untrained apprentice,
In a void and stumbling blind,
Still persistant in my efforts,
To reach whatever end I find.
