Question:Via Tarot

KNIGHT OF WANDS

Where do you go,
little brother?
Where the grass is green
and pastures fair?
Where the drums beat on
and patriots bleed?
This journey is
not short,
and not without
great peril.
Will you return
with name intact?
Will you return
at all?

It makes me think of someone going off to school, war, or possibly, someone going out of their mind on drugs. It is a mystical poem. It can mean anything to the person who reads it, just by the mood they are in. It is great, thanks for sharing.

=) meat_loaf

Is this about Levi? (I don't know how to spell his name, sorry)

mother Earth talking to the one she has reared. Sister Sky to the sibling Dear. All these voices of wisdom and only one knows who she truly is.

Well put Eva.

Interesting. Made me think of someone going away possibly to his death and the person he is leaving wondering would they come back... intact. Or even alive.

Keep up the good work

...questions from someone who cares
but knows there are no answers yet?
only true heart intentions come home.

but the ears that hear this may just have become
invulnerable for the journey, perhaps, ..maybe.

Damn you got me thinking of the Labyrinth.."With dangers untold and heart ships unnumbered I've fought my way here to the castle beyond the goblin city to take back the child you have stolen!..For my kingdom is great and my will is as strong as yours...Damn I can never remember that line...You have no power over me!" Sorry I'm so sleepy and I <3 the Labyrinth! It knida goes with it right? Right?!!!! O.O

The more that I read these, the stronger are my feelings and the less my understanding. It's as if I were listening to someone speaking in a language foreign to me. I miss the intellectual content but the emotions are clear. What I get is anxiety and solicitude.
