I wait for this message that is already on its way.
How much time will it take to arrive, while it comes from so far ?
Let's hope Clouds don't carry bad news or that Mice don't steal it.
But if a Key is close to my missive,
then i'll know that the message will be important.
1 wait but I know my wait will be short.
I looked for it and here it is, close at hand, a four-leaf clover.
I grab it quickly and look at the sky.
If the Sun is shining, luck is looking up.
If the C/ouds are spreading, my luck will turn. Close to my clover, the Broom is resting... luck, good or bad, will go on.

My cocoon, my home, In between your walls, I feel safe. Once your door closed, I can let go, be myself in the space I created.
i You keep my memories, you hold my present. And if on the threshold, a Dog stops, he will be a reliable friend and a confident. But if Birds sing under my windows, beware of the gossipy neighbours.

A breath and my feet take root.
An exhale and my arms reach for the sky.
All that surround me define how 1 am.
If the Clouds, the Coffin, the Stork or the Scythe are unpleasant, the Garden, the Sun, the Moon, and the Anchor are good for me. And if a Book is close by, i can study all of this with my full attention.
Under the shadow of the Clouds, I was lost.
My path was not clear and my steps were uncertain.
Every decision was difficult
and the closest the Mountain was getting to me, the deeper depression was taking roots.
Luckily, the Sun broke up.
The dark spot in the sky cleared up and ended my confusion.
I started on my path again, light hearted.

I'd rather give you back that Ring on my finger than to be fooled and think about a compromise.
Now that 1 am aware of it, I'll be careful, not to assume anything and look at truth as it is.
The bats guide me to what disappears, keeping me company at the end of this cycle.
It is a time for assesment, and for turning towards the unknown.

I lend an ear... what do they say ? Nothing serious, for them it's only a game.

It seems there is as many people as flowers in this garden.
All bending towards each other, easy chatting and short attention span. Crossroads open the mind and soul, and time is not important, only the encounter is.

I'll be stronger from that experience.
So inhale... exhale...
I'm getting all my courage together and I'm starting the climb.
1 am at a Crossroad in my life
and there are several possibilities for me.
The moment is not about indecision.
I am not a Child anymore, who makes choices without thinking and I do not want to think of the Coffin that will bring me to a dead-end.

A but I can change my difficulties in strengths for the future.
In the distance a next path appears.
