TAROT LADY #poetry by jay

Tarot cards
I was told by Tarot Lady
of my past lives
many lived over time 
as Preacher/ Professor 
or two-bit man with a bone 
and a hammer to pound.

I was told to live powerfully
 and accept the mission of
‘carnating’ willfully— 
to accept the lot of boredom as planned 
and reap the harvest of selling hangers to man.

The Tarot Lady confessed my future/ from my past 
not lost but found/ in this mundane task 
of flipping these cards/ that hands down tell
an intriguing mention/ of many tales re-lived at last 
long-lived and upheld/ as long as life is vast.

    How intriguing this poem Jay! I am pretty sure you would never follow this advice, even if it surfaced in a Tarot reading:
    “to accept the lot of boredom as planned
    and reap the harvest of selling hangers to man.”
    As always your poetry is so much fun to dive into and this is no exception:)
