Cards Were Played

The cards were played in tableau
the possible arrayed in rows
with the past conjoined to present day
future implied in all its shades
 
cardboard, colors, rectangles
mixed with designs of mankind
focus turns from inward out
on the table, reflecting mind
 
perhaps they’re people or something more
intention stated or just felt
energies focused to see much more
the veil extending beyond four walls
 
archetypes present a crowd
each role extends an eager hand
asking for their credit due
as the fates are now pursued
 
now the chance has been set
the possible conveyed to mortal man
cards of doom or cards of bless
they represent the full balance.
