I normally would never share my poetry 2brix: I normally would never share my poetry with anyone but tonight I wrote these two peices and I feel that maybe it's time for me to try something new share a part of me that is very deeply secret. Please excuse the spelling errors nearly 40 years old and I spell just as poorly as I did when I was in elementary school.
Tarot
In a deck of tarot cards there are so many confusions
The fool is a man of infinite wisdom
The tower an evil card though a tower is a safe place
And death which means rebirth
I have played out all the cards in their forms
I have found mixed messages and fuzzy ends
Try as I may I can only try to divine by hope
I have played out the death card and it is clear
I have been reborn, the darkness clearing, the tower is crumbling
I now know the sun will come up tomorrow
I want to run and hide in the darkness of the tower
Only to find no darkness to hide in that card is covered by another player
My life past lay at my feet just as the cards tell me
I have new born flesh and blood
I can feel the rush through my veins
I can feel the fools rebirth and I love him
My Son
One small hand attached to one small body
A childs hand and body
What will this hand in mine do
My hands now middle aged have touched so much
They have touched the invisable forces driving our cities
They have touched the paper and metal driving our industries
What will this small hand touch
Will it follow me and touch the movers of society
Will it hold firm when his body screams stop but his mind screams pride before defeat
I can only guess at what future each finger holds
I hold out hope that each of his hands will hold firm
I hold out hope that his hands will be strong
My hands have touched the soul of another
My hands have lifted a babies and held them close to me
And I pray so to will his hands.
