Tarot: The Lovers
National Poetry month and revisiting an older poem
April is National Poetry Month. I am posting a poem each day in April related to the tarot deck. Please check out index for this at:
The first draft of this poem was written a few years ago. Inspired by the tarot card The Lovers. The symbolic essence of the card is about the need to make a conscious choice or commit to a direction. Rather like the way relationships work.
The Lovers (revised)

warmed
spring
voices
interweave
flutter
down
the
sidewalk
holding
hands.
how do we
choose the one
that matters
when both
must say yes
and yes again
eternally.

I'm reading these out of order. Love means choosing each other again and again. I remind myself of this often. Also choose yourself. This was lovely to read. Thank you. Love, Virg
Beautiful and well done. Sweet.
