The Chariot VII
Strong-willed conqueror
takes The Chariot’s reins, and
brings the world to heel.
Strong-willed conqueror
takes The Chariot’s reins, and
brings the world to heel.
A heart shared by two
reaches across the distance
to join once again.
Beloved of the Gods,
The High Priest leads the masses
in sacred service.
Astride the red horse,
his ambitions know no bounds,
honor no borders.
Her husband at war,
she uses cunning and guile
to protect her throne.
In the cool moonlight,
The Priestess breathes her prayers,
chaste and otherwise.
Magician’s powers
don’t come from smoke and mirrors,
but transformation.
The Fool makes merry
the king, the court, the people,
but never himself.
My head is pounding,
the stress of it all threatens
to break me in two.
The crowd pressing in,
too many, too much, too loud –
I must get away.
