15 - Chains

Oppressive Situations

A man and woman bound together
    in the dungeon of their minds;
Their fear prevents their searching
    ways to unlock the chain that binds.

A ray of light surrounds them
    showing freedom is at hand,
But they’re lost in their self-pity
    too afraid to take command.
~ ~ ~
Think, my friend, and go beyond!
    Dream dreams of pure delight.
Fear not the unknown path
    that leads just beyond your sight.
Your options find new choices
    that present themselves anew
And guidance is within your grasp
    if you hear what is said to you.

Author notes

I wrote this series last summer and began posting them. I took the prose version of the Celtic Dragon Tarot interpretations and put it in verse form. I'd also included the illustrations, but was asked to remove it because of the copyright infringement. I'd given full credit to Conway and Hunt and didn't claim them for my own, but there were apparently other legalities.  
So...for the legal beagles out there.... These are MY words, although they were inspired by Conway.

    This is stunning! It really hits home with me. Sounds like the voice that whispered to me until I finally made some choices and made my life better. This is a very good poem.
