Power of Three (hour 5)

In tarot, the three of swords
warns of conflict, sorrow, and heartache.

Three sharpened swords pierce a heart
at three harsh angles.

Brother. Father. You.

I can feel the three of swords pulse in my deck,
jump under my fingers,
singing of my past, present, and future.

I learned quickly that
bad things happen in threes —
and knowing that, doesn’t make
anything easier.

  1. Love this! What a great prompt idea! There is so much symbolism in the Tarot. I like the last line, it resonates. I’ve always had an affinity towards the 3 of swords, not so sure that it’s a good thing.
