Tarot Clouds



Slivers of frozen moon

peek through tarot clouds

as the old year slips into

its grave of sapphire shadows.

 

From wind shuffled mist January

drops its star of hope into the palm

of restless night where questions

pace the insomnia of unanswered.

 

Beneath winter’s icy quilt resilience

sprouts another leaf to break

through soil of a new calendar

waiting to blossom.

But life goes on
(even when there's no sleep as we "pace the insomnia of unanswered" questions) I like. Also I do the "frozen moon". Neither have an end that's practical??
Good job, though, Susie!!
..
You made beautiful coherence and meaning from a rather puzzling picture! (And reminded me it's time I did myself a Tarot reading for the coming year.)

I feel optimism in your poetry in the midst of that restless night .. also resurrected memories of a favorite HBO series “ Carnivàle” which used tarot cards in the opening title sequence. Brava.

There is finally the real promise of a new start, a new day, a new and credible way! Onward, and once again upward we go Susie.

A feeling of hope and cleansing.

I love how this this progressed from richly moody imagery to an outward explosion of hope.
