Blank

Card of the Day: Reversed Ten of Swords
Interpretation: Let's call this the beginning of the end. We're not out of the woods yet, but at least the canopy is starting to thin.

Blank, white paper,
It's such a simple thing.
So enticing, my pen crawls closer.
But what to create? Where to begin?

A word. Stop.
Think, scratch out, and begin again.
A curve, a line, a shape,
And the world begins to form.

Crumpling, a cry of frustration,
Another set of words.
Lines grow and multiply
While color comes to life.

No. It is not right.
The words flow off the page.
No. It is not wrong.
Sifting through a torn heart.

Blank, white paper,
It's such a complex thing.
Words shape the mind's desires
And create the color of life.

Yesterday's Card: Temperance
Reflection: Well... it's a start. Let's hope I don't backslide AGAIN. No wait... I think I might be already. Dammit.
