The Hanged Man

Twelve - the perfect number symbolizing the zodiac
The thirteenth movement
Through many lands the Fool has traveled and many truths his eyes have dazzled. Several lessons he has learned. Thoughts on them his mind have burned. Along the cliffs and through the plains. By the palace and the dunes of flames. Between the trees and past the stall. With the lion and in the hall. Wisdom and teaching, so much to learn. With them, no doubt, there is plenty to earn. But all of them tangle and confuse the mind. By his own shadow the Fool falls behind. Everyone was running ahead to the future. But his thoughts were lacking in structure. Startled by all the decisions ahead, the Fool sought a place to rest his poor head. On his path he found it, a simple old tree. Beneath its wide shadow came to sit he. Past him went people and creatures and days. Silent he was, beneath the rain and sun’s rays. On the ninth day, without reason why, the jolly good Fool hung himself by the foot on the tree he had sat under and allowed himself to bleakly wonder. Why had he traveled all of this time? From his pockets fell every last dime. Was there true purpose or was it redeeming? He saw them as pieces without any meaning. The Fool’s perspective went through great change. Upside-down he saw the world as quite strange. Things that he knew he came to question and those he did not - knew no objection. And so he dangled from the tree, the hanged man in the grey sea. In the space between the heavens and land, Time goes by with the slipping of sand. This moment was pleasant, yet he knew that to this dream he must bid adieu. Soon the journey would start anew. Until then, he could hang for an hour or two. |
