The Empress

A poem based on the tarot

Oh giver of life, the mother of all,
fruitfulness of the earth, universal lover.
From you comes my creativity
my joy and passion, my own body.

Your darkness though, oh your darkness!

How I learned how to be,
how not to be, from you, my mother.
from your sadness and loss…
