III of Swords
None that came
and took the hand
of sorrow’s separation
Bleeding heart releases tears
Not only bloody down
the cheek of one’s soul
but burning holes
in the fabric of real
exposing chaos
What can come
spring forth from loins
of chaos manifestation
Lovely monsters coming through
not only ravishing
the whole of being
but with ecstatic
terrible beauty
exhorting night

When the Dark Ascends, the light retreats willingly
so the dark won’t crowd it out, thus do things happen naturally cyclically
It benefits one to understand the difference between retreat and flight
Timing is key and it is best to deal from a position of strength and choose one’s time
The Three of Swords (according to Aleister Crowley) is “dark and heavy” with “storm broods under implacable night” While other descriptions deal with a feeling of mourning or loss.
