This weeks prompt at a Dash of Sunny is 

"Let's take a look at the cards, shall we?"

There is a link to a free tarot reading where you just select 3 cards

representing your Past Present and Future

I drew The Lovers/The Fool/The Wheel of Fortune.

I found some copyright free images to make this digital collage..

Choosing my own path

With a Lover from my past I'll run,

Picking flowers beneath the Sun.

Taking risks and having fun,

Until my turn of the wheel is done.

I took these words from the reading as inspiration;

PAST:We give our love to others with ease and without fear,

PRESENT:We believe in Life, and expect our path to be good

 and rewarding.

FUTURE: Accept~take responsibility~move on!

Believe in your own potential.

Women of strength.

Day 24 of NaPoWriMo with Magaly

Art speaks to Art

Base a poem on a piece of art by a favourite artist.

One of my all time favourites is the deeply troubled

 Dante Gabriel Rossetti

(portrait by William Holman Hunt)

I have always been impressed with the "strength" he saw in his models. They can appear almost masculine in build, while showing the true grace of femininity.

He was also a poet, and wrote poems about all of his paintings...and he looks uncannily like Mr Poe don't you think?

"Beloved"

(aka The Bride of Solomon)

Beloved.

A jewel surround by precious gems

of multi-coloured hues.

That shine and sparkle in the sun.

Blossom that grows amidst the flowers

in the morning dew.

Cloaked in the luscious greens of your garden.

With eyes blinded by your singular beauty

I gaze upon you.

And my heart weeps with joy at your existence.

Enjoy :D XXX
