Poem: Eight of Summer – 27/12/20

The card tells me to focus on a desire for a
more meaningful life,
to realise it’s time to move on.
Make those life-altering decisions and brighten my path,
accompanied by the sweetest songs.

Hand in hand, will I be?
Or strident on my own,
wearing that purely metaphorical crown?
Dangling with jewels of prosperity and wisdom,
I will cherish this land,
the land I explore as a future kingdom.

I will walk the path of righteousness,
never allowing for feelings of umbrage or
tales of my misfortune,
I am learning from past mistakes,
and those even of today,
people aren’t necessarily who or what they promise.

And this is fine,
it’s purposeful to know the truth
that sometimes hopes and honour have
decidedly flown the coop.
