Swords cross,

demanding cruise of decision

on the path of possibility,

what is life. Searching

he balance between life and death,

athlete's will is required;

the good decision is healthy,

it will be recreational, it will lead to joy.


II of Swords, reversed card.

They are barrier, the crossed swords.

The balance is not found; it bumps

with the wall of time, it leans

against her to stand

in equilibrium. Joy is forced,

feigned pleasure. Age reduces us,

disease, options are narrowed.

Poem by Rafael Jesús Gonzalez
