How to Read the Tarot

Begin by brewing a cup of tea,
a nervine, lemon balm or chamomile,
this is after all, your future.
A reading at the dark of the moon is best,
before the night creatures crawl
and bad humours fill the air.
Pick a circular deck, with a fairy-tale motif,
and no reversals.
Hold a question in your heart,
shuffle the cards and place them on the table.
Choose only two.
Like the ancient Israelites,
these are your seer stones, Urim and Thumimm,
black and white, yes or no.
Isn't that all you were asking?

Love Remembered

Once upon a time ago I loved you
in my frenzied youth I chose another.
Fifty years gone by and still, dreams of you.
Two marriages in, and yet, I wonder.

Would my life be better, saner, clearer
had I held you fast and not let you go.
Old memories are sweeter and dearer.
I cannot change the past, I cannot know.

I sense you out there in the multiverse
a click away on Facebook and Twitter.
Not for me this social media curse,
all that's shiny is fool's gold and glitter.

I will continue to remember you.
But that is all this old dreamer will do.
