Tarot Read

Hanging from the ceiling
The fool is on the floor
The lion draws closer
To the empress at the door

The devil brings in sinners
The world at it’s defense
The sunshine brings the winners
For all life’s temperance

For high up in the tower
The lover’s nighttime brawl
Where the stars share their power
And the moon is nothing at all

The high priestess’s melancholy stare
At the hierophants wares
And magicians luck brings
Fortune to end sufferings

The emperor proudly looks
As the chariot brings along
Judgment’s freedoms
And justice’s songs

At the end of the line
There are only two
The dying hermit
And death to lead him through

I don't know what inspired this, but here it is.

I incorporated tarot cards into this poem. For those that don't know what the major arcana.

The major arcana ("greater secrets"), or trump cards, consists of 21 cards without suits, plus a 22nd card, The Fool, which is often given the value of zero: The Fool, The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress, The Emperor, The Hierophant, The Lovers, The Chariot, Strength, The Hermit, Wheel of Fortune, Justice, The Hanged Man, Death, Temperance, The Devil, The Tower, The Star, The Moon, The Sun, Judgment, and The World.

You'll find all of these within the poem.

Enjoy.

Please note: If you are against Tarot cards, then don't leave a rude comment. I don't care if you think they're "evil". If you don't want to read this nobody is holding a gun to your head.
