Nueve de Espadas / IX of Swords

Right now in my grief the
Hardest cut is that abject fear
Divides us into imaginary solitary
Planets too hypnotized by anxiety
To see the holiness in the
Infinite circularity of everything
And that the dark night of the cosmic soul
Is a necessary nightmare for
Learning that linear swords never can
Pierce nonlinear loyalties reborn by
Sacrifice and each time we
Return to the dark's ecstasy with the dawn
We can erase a breath to revise our prayer
Refine the offering of ourselves for
Our new birth beyond the mortal
Dimension fed by our eternal Mother
And morning shows forever I can never
Really be abandoned nor grieving
