~Fool~
A lone traveler
Walking as free as a cloud
Even off a cliff

~Magician~
One with power rules
Not with sheer strength, but sheer will
But power corrupts

~Priestess~
A silent voice whispers great wisdom
Hidden from many like a great sanctum
The words are profound
Your secrets abound
The Priestess knows them, but do you know hers

~Empress~
She holds the light of maternal love
For all ages both below and above
Her compassion is strength
It surpasses any length
The Empress soars like a divine dove

~The Emperor~
Emperor
He holds great power
Power obtained by all means
A forceful ambition realized
Can he avoid corruption?
Is he truly weak?
He knows not

~The Hierophant~
Hierophant
He sees and knows all
Society is his eyes
Security or one’s own freedom?
In his world he's big brother
The price of freedom
It is steep

~The Lovers~  
They share a great bond
A bond seen in days of yore
We called them lovers
The two are one and much more
True love is a work of art

~The Chariot~
We always set goals
But do we possess the will?
We forge our own fate
The Chariot moves forward
To scream its dreams and grasp them

~Justice~
Justice cried the father
For his daughter was slain
Justice cried the father
For the accused he held disdain
Justice cried the father
As he found the accused filthy
The father was shot through the heart
For Justice found him guilty.

~Hermit~
It sits alone with a lantern
A being of solitude
Never bothering anyone
It shows great fortitude
Suffering from withdrawal?
Filled with nothing but doubt?
The Hermit looks inward for answers
When there’s no way out

~Fortune~
A ll things pass
B ecause the wheel keeps spinning
C hange is life
D on’t expect to keep winning
E ven though there are ups and downs
F ortune smiles on everyone so don’t frown

~Strength~
A person of great strength
B attles not to kill
C ourage is a virtue
D on’t use force for the thrill
E veryone can overcome obstacles
F or all it takes is a stern will

~The Hanged Man~
He hangs upside down for it is his desire
Sacrificing himself for others is something to admire
His tormentors however, will suffers fates far more dire

~Death~
Save your tears and regrets,
For we have reached the end,
Fear not this fate as it is absolute change,
Death comes to all both foe and friend.



And that does it for the brooding poetry!
