Tonight, I walk down to the docks
There’s a storm blowing in across the water
But I chose not to be afraid of the waves
I said, Onward
I take a fleeting glance at the sun
As it sets behind dark clouds
I think: I’ll come back here to remind myself
The sun is still there, even when I can’t see it
Go high enough and even hurricanes
Give way to the blue sky
Tonight I pull the Ace of Wands, reversed
And fear that means my green light has turned to red
But there’s another definition
‘Clouded joy –
The wonder and happiness exists
Even when we cannot see it in front of us’
And when I put my cards away
I see the bottom of my deck
And there’s the Sun
I collect signs like deep breaths
Count them up to pass the time
Count them up like prayers for peace
And wait for the storm to hit the shore
With Love,
Natalie
