Poem & Collage for the Sun in Taurus

Deck: Sharman-Castello Tarot

A garden mermaid stands

succulent in her certainty

containing what is needed

each current has its own agenda

and water will not flow

to suit your desire

we harvest new ideas

put plans into action

stand close and watch

for tight buds to flower

sometimes it seems easier

to ignore the ants

under the windowsill

or aphids on the foxglove

nature’s details prevail

and the only sure defeat

is to expect perfection

can we learn to accept

the constant turning

the seasons, the endless

wheel of the year?

Always there is the longing

to honor each expanding bloom

as sand drips in the hourglass

we must learn to love the moment

even knowing

that the moment must end

In each other we see

a waterfall of creation

our river of dreams

may hit rocks of reality

and burst into being

in this fertile ground

the seeds we thought

too strange for planting

may yet yield

an abundant harvest

given favorable conditions

as spring discovers it’s full glory

the bees see flowers

fat with pollen

shining with enterprise.
