Spinning Wheel
Wisdom gained is
innocence lost.
He who seeks truth
always pays a high cost.
For hearts are deceitful,
they tell such sweet lies...
Love conquers all they shout,
there's no such thing as goodbye.
Emotions are a temptress,
desire a snare,
one leads us to our doom,
the other strips us bare.
The mind is a dark pit
hiding all manner of monsters inside,
we give our all to slay the beasts
all the while feeding our biggest one;
PRIDE.
We spend our finite existence racing
trying to always be first in line,
never enjoying the moment we're in
too afraid of falling behind.
Fate may be our mistress,
but she's a fickle friend.
Don't you know that her spinning wheel
crushes us all in the end?

I believe that people who can channel insights from the tarot are supremely gifted. This write seems to mirror the construct of the tarot, in the sense of the symmetry and machine like precision of form and function. You have expressed such profound truths here. Can you imagine a collection of pieces reflective of each card? That could be a truly elevated production. Of course it would be a tremendous labor. but would be so cool.
I very much enjoy your writes. :)

Thank you for your feedback :) Oh my goodness, YES to your idea about doing a piece for each card, that would be so much fun and so awesome to write. I'm thinking I might just have to take on that project (if you're not going to that is).
