Fire spreading in my soul
Passion, energy springing forth
Keep the flame kindled
but untamed it consumes
and dwindles to smoke
Water flows gently in the inner caverns,
cleansing, mixing, renewing.
Bathing slowly restores
but slumber in the pool asphyxiates
and brings an end to life.
Air nourishes and invigorates,
blowing thoughts like seeds with wings
Spreading life and enlightenment,
Revealing mysteries beneath the leaves.
But harsh winds inside bring turmoil to a dwelling
and outside cut and gnash like disembodied teeth,
hateful spectres of sand and rock.
Earth connects and speaks
and grows and cycles
But coins will weigh a soul
down to the grave.
Coins pull and coins glitter
Coins promise and we quiver
But can the spirit find peace
rolling coins and chasing
after their provision?
Ten of pentacles
Fulfillment or in opposition?
Coins drop from my purse
And falling to my knees
my hands caress the grass
and the trees
the flowers
and the earth.
