I was inspired by the Tarot card - Fool and the interpretations of the card.

Fooled by the Fool
Fooled by the quiet voice within,
she stood on the precipice,
one foot in the air.
Fooled by the quiet voice within,
she couldn’t feel the warmth of the sun,
all she felt was the nipping of dogged reality.
Fooled by the quiet voice within,
she couldn’t see the beauty,
or grasp the opportunity ahead.
Fooled by the quiet voice within,
all she saw was the zero,
not the layers, the offerings of the universe.
Fooled by the quiet voice within,
she stepped into the void,
Fooled by the Fool.

ReplyDeleteI haven't written a poem yet, but have written a post on the theme. I like the theme a lot and will try to find a little time to play with it (though I'm preparing for tomorrow when my sister arrives from the UK - for only 9 days! - haven't seen her in four and a half years!!). x Hope you have a great week x
What an impressive piece of writing. I love the line "she couldn’t feel the warmth of the sun, all she felt was the nipping of dogged reality." YES! I exhaled at that point.
ReplyDeleteI'm wanting to write something for this theme, but I'm not sure I am courageous enough, and I was going to leave a massive comment on your post Where to from here, but then deleted it as I was just rambling on and on.
