Heart what do you need?

Heart what do you need?

I need time to heal

You have given me away, hoed me out to the world

Don’t you know I’m precious?

Don’t you know I’m yours?

You are compassionate yes,

I see you when you stack your plates in the restaurant so the server can have a break

I see you when you traverse the grocery store parking lot to return wayward buggies that weren’t yours

I see you jump to donate, to give, to round up

I see you when you check on your friends your family scripting prayers for them in the wee hours of the morning

But do you see me?

Do you see the you that I see?

It’s tricky when you live your whole life in service to a god outside of you

Society deems it beautiful,

Christianity sings it’s praises

But what about the goddess in yourself?

But what about the goddess in yourself?

The one who rises, unearthed yet rooted

The one whose pulse beats with the rhythm of stars

Whose worth is not in service, but in being.

What if you paused?

Not to pray for others,

But to pray for me—

For our union

To let me bloom unburdened.

To let me rest unencumbered.

Could you unlearn the weight of martyrdom,

And embrace the freedom of being?

Could you see that divinity dwells

Not only in your giving

But in your receiving, too?

The 6 of Pentacles is your Sun card

You are the Sun card,

I am your mirror.

See yourself. Forget yourself not.

I am waiting.

Waiting for you to claim me,

For I am yours and you are mine.

My divine counterpart

My lover

My savior

My best of friends

Heart, I answer you yes

for as long as you beat

and I have breath in these lungs I will strive for our union

and that is loving enough.
