Poem based on the book The Sabian Symbols as an Oracle
by Lynda Hill & Richard Hill © 1995*
“Miners are emerging from a deep coal mine”
Today, randomly generated the number 192
Wandered the cold, dripping mines
Wondering what to do
At still another life cusp
Menacing stalactites creeping down
Snaring stalagmites tripping the unwary
Wandered twelve days in the darkness
When the answer came, so obvious,
Wondered why I didn’t believe what was already known
Gems pick-axed from the walls
Must be brought up to the light
As a reminder
To never again lack self-faith
And to remember that
Coming into the light reveals
Rewards gained by
Releasing a belabored point…

*Thanks to Hunter S. Jones (http://huntersjones.com/ ) for reminding me about the Sabian Symbols that are used to describe astrological degrees in a horoscope. It is often helpful to consult the ancient practice of sortilege–sometimes called Bibliomancy–for guidance.
