Midnight Blue

Blue - King of Swords
With rationality, you purge through the mist of uncertainty.
Weaving a sword, you snip off the knots you cannot uncoil.
You want to build a world out of pure reason.
Little do you know,
The world's on fire - yet - your wish's unaltered.
Have you ever wept for a withering flower?
Red - Knights of Wands
Riding the chariot, you always charge forward.
One task after another, you don't ask when your constant battles will end.
In your world, doers shall burn bright whilst slackers shall turn to ash.
But do you know what it is all for?
Fix up and move on, too easily;
If only a wound could heal without leaving a scar.
Black - Queen of Cups
Empathy, speaks so softly and endearingly.
You whisper to the wind that you are haunted by the visages of suffering,
Hoping that the wind will vanquish your fire of love, or set it ablaze?
You grieve that the world is not a castle on the cloud.
As water, you seep through the fabric of humanity,
From the thread of triumph, to the string of despair.
And you wonder - how one thing can be both.
Three colours, championing three pillars,
Thinking, Doing, and Feeling.
When one speaks, others shall not speak?
Still...
Silence observed, Justice undelivered.
