A new beginning...the Ultimate End.
These are going to be a series of poems (all pantoums) based off of the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot Cards. (The things used in Persona 3 biggrin )
Here's the first, the fool.
0: The Fool
The beginning of life is revealed
The young explore their lives
Endless possibilities are unveiled
They begin to strive

The young explore their lives
Slowly opening doors unknown
They begin to strive
Further away from the home

Slowly opening doors unknown
Beginnings are slowly unveiled
Further away from the home
They see things begin to be unraveled

Beginnings are slowly unveiled
They take their next step in life
They see things begin to be unraveled
They slowly begin to survive

They take their next step in life
Endless possibilities are unveiled
They slowly begin to survive
The beginning of life is revealed

The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed.

That is trippy. I like how you made the second line of the first three stanzas as the first line of the following stanza. Well done. (Not to mention the rhyme scheme worked with how you wrote it.)

A new beginning... the Ultimate End.

Thanks LunarHybrid. The pantoum works! Time for the second poem...
I: The Magician
Entrusting his future to the cards,
Man clings to a dim light.
His efforts give him rewards,
But his immaturity makes him fight.

Man clings to a dim light.
Action blooms from him.
But his immaturity makes him fight
As his anger reaches its brim.

Action blooms from him
He always takes the first step.
As his anger reaches its brim
He can not afford to misstep.

He always takes the first step.
Action and initiative mark him.
He can not afford to misstep
As he begins his journey thin.

Action and initiative mark him.
His efforts give him rewards.
As he begins his journey thin
Entrusting his future to the cards.

The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed.

That really is an interesting and cool way to write poems. I've never seen that before, I like it. ^.^
