"The Star" in Tarot signifies Hope and wishes come true and if a client has this card in a reading it is a very auspicious card. In the Mythic Tarot, the deck I use the illustration depicts "Pandora" who was given a box by the gods and told not to open it. Alas curiosity got the better of her, she opened it and out flew all ills known to man. However one thing stayed and that was "HOPE".
When I started writing last night I was feeling very low and I just allowed my hand to write and the result are these two poems obviously a message channeled to inspire and remember no matter what we always have "HOPE"
THE GIFT OF HOPE
In some distant land so far away
Beyond dreams where angels stay
From whence we come and whence we go
That dwells in all hearts of men in truth and what we know
Where seeds of hope are spun and help our spirit grow
In every heart there burns a flame, some brighter than another
But lit it is and for it burns in every sister and every brother
Never will it be extinguished it burns eternally
It glows and grows spurned on with adversity
Each challenge great that we face, each pain, each tragedy
For burn that flame of hope will burn for all eternity
It gives us strength, it makes us strong, its power and wonder will astound
It's given by God, a gift to us, whose love is limitless and abounds

THE DARKEST HOUR IS BEFORE THE DAWN
As clouds gather darkening my horizon I wonder just why
Four walls close in and suffocate who can hear me cry
I long to escape the shackles that bind me
I ache deep inside my head to fly free
A room with no windows a room with no door
A dream of blue skies fly free, high and soar
To find the key takes trust and believe what you know to be true
For in trust the door will open and unlock for you
Faith isn t easy when all around is gloom
Faith isn t easy when you re trapped inside that room
Even in that darkest dark a tiny candle s lit
For even in the darkness and in that prison we sit
Hope burns eternal and the darkest hour is before the dawn
For in the gloom in corners dark that tiny flame is there
Never to be extinguished it always burns in the hearts where
And brighter will it illuminate and recharge and energise the soul
Healing with eternal love and making you feel again whole
