The Fool Steps Out
The Fool steps out, the journey thus begins,
A Magician’s tools lay spread, their power grows,
High Priestess whispers of a secret, present win.
The Empress’ bounty, life anew she spins,
The Emperor’s rules an order firmly shows,
The Fool steps out, the journey thus begins.
The Hierophant’s traditions: faith and proper grins,
Lovers’ choice of paths where all love flows,
High Priestess whispers of a secret, present win.
The Chariot’s conquest, a discipline that spins,
Strength reveals the force that gentleness bestows,
The Fool steps out, the journey thus begins.
The Hermit seeks the light from societal chagrin,
Wheel of Fortune turns where fate unknowingly goes,
High Priestess whispers of a secret, present win.
Justice wields the scales of a balance pinned,
The Hanged Man’s new perspective of understanding slow,
The Fool steps out, the journey thus begins.
Death transforms, ends and starts again and again,
Temperance’s stream, where inner melding flows,
High Priestess whispers of a secret, present win.
The Devil’s chains of material lust in sin,
The Tower’s fall, upheaval, overthrow,
The Fool steps out, the journey thus begins.
The Star’s hope, the Moon’s dreams, the Sun’s light within,
Judgment calls a past toward a future to bestow,
The World’s dance circles back from there to here knows when,
The Fool steps out, the journey thus begins,
The path spread out before us by a tale that’s always been.
