The Hermit
About one of my favorite tarot cards.
He walks alone, not quite knowing what he’s looking for.
He carries a torch, looking for his star.
The bright light that comforts him,
guides him through the dark.
He moves, cut off from everything he knows.
Shadows curl on the path before him,
but truth, an inner knowing of what is destined
guides him forward.
His star hangs before him,
and he moves towards it, single-minded,
seeking the one thing that makes sense
in his dark world.
Millenia pass as he looks for evasive truths
in this elaborate game of hide and seek.
He weaves through time
in an eternal quest for healing,
for dreams, for hope and for love.
