Hermetic Dawn
The cards shuffled, cut, drawn
the universe favoured one card,
The Last Judgement.
The insights of the Hermetic Tarot Deck
overwhelming – awe inspiring
one, two, five thousand years of wisdom.
The card - Major Arcana number twenty
embodies the spirit of the primal fire,
T.S. Eliot new this,
the secrets hidden in Burnt Norton,
The Wasteland vision
prophetic, proceeds apace.
The Last Judgement
a bearded angel sounds the shofar,
the ancient ram’s horn echoing eerily,
three figures rise from their tombs
the resurrected souls fly upwards.
Atonement, rejuvenation
And the angel sounds the shofar.
But are we listening?
Very fine poem, Rob. Seems to me that we DON'T listen at our peril.
