eight swords

michael raven poems, tarot for fun April 15, 2023 1 Minute

struggling, bound & blind
i embraced these prison walls
and razor wire on my own

deep breath, relax, reflect
stones crumble, steel rusts
surrender to intuition, drop mind

rejecting all illusions that bind

  At least you have one of those. I lost mine somewhere along the line. 😉

We build ourselves a castle which becomes a prison…but what’s thd alternative?
Thought-provoking piece, Michael.

Surrender is where I’m at too. Learning to feel all the stuff is hard.

  It’s far from easy. That constant desire to wrangle everything into an outcome… It’s tough to give up that idea that it can be done if only you apply yourself just a bit harder.
