The Hermit
Upright Meaning: Introspection, solitude, wisdom, guidance, inner illumination. Reversed Meaning: Isolation, withdrawal, avoidance of self-knowledge, loneliness disguised as enlightenment.
Stardust swirls around everything,
forms a halo on this man,
forms a path from where he was to
where he is to where he’s going,
holding a lantern, approaching a lantern
while the moon tries to escape her orb,
fractured, spilling stardust
among other prisons of existence.
About the Creator

I'm a weirdo nerd who’s extremely subversive. I like rocks, incense, and all kinds of witchy stuff. Intrusive rhyme bothers me.
I’m known as Dena Brown to the revenuers and pollsters.

Letter to my Daughter
You have a choice to make here: are you going to continue the cycle, or are you going to break it? Keeping your son away from me hurts him; there’s no question about that. I thought you were being hurt, and I was trying to protect you, not punish anyone when I kept your grandfather away from you. I have said that I was wrong and I am sorry, but there was never any malice involved.

A beautifully atmospheric piece — it feels like following a cosmic traveler moving through light, time, and emotion all at once.
This is genuinely lovely; the way every sentence supports the next is so satisfying to read. Wonderful work.
