Evolving Emotions: Tarot Reading

The cards that hold

Knowledge I already knew

But couldn’t access

The hands that have seen

Roughness

Niceties

And warm gestures

Grazing the cards

Selecting aimlessly

A past

Repressed

And bottled

A present

Confused

And hopeful

A future

Essential

But fearsome

Forming a row of formidable cards

They speak and expose

A heartbreak two folds

Too strong

Complications of roads

Too intimidating to choose from

Decisions neglected

Thoughts finely pressed

And set aside for a different morning

Desires to be realized

Dreams to dazzle

And worlds of people to meet

Such an accurate picture

Painted by the person

Sitting before me

Divulging my concerns

Encouraging my pursuits

I heard what I yearned for

Absorbing the words

From across a rickety table
