The Isle of Long Ago

Oh, a wonderful stream is the River Time,
As it flows through the realm of Tears,
With a faultless rhythm and a musical rhyme,
And a broader sweep and a surge sublime
As it blends with the ocean of Years.

How the winters are drifting like flakes of snow!
And the summers like buds between;
And the year in the sheaf–so they come and they go
On the River’s breast with its ebb and flow,
As they glide in the shadow and sheen.

There’s a magical Isle up the River Time
Where the softest of airs are playing;
There’s a cloudless sky and a tropical clime,
And a voice as sweet as a vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are staying.

And the name of this Isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of snow—
They are heaps of dust, but we loved them so!
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.

There are fragments of song that nobody sings,
And a part of an infant’s prayer,
There’s a harp unswept and a lute without strings,
There are broken vows and pieces of rings,
And the garments that she used to wear.

There are hands that are waved when the fairy shore
By the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear through the turbulent roar
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the River is fair.

Oh, remembered for aye be the blessed Isle
All the day of our life till night,
And when evening comes with its beautiful smile,
And our eyes are closing in slumber awhile,
May that “Greenwood” of soul be in sight.

~~Benjamin Franklin Taylor

We are the lucky ones
We shine like a thousand suns
When all of the colour runs together

I'll keep you company
In one glorious harmony
Waltzing with destiny forever

Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light

Time dances whirling past
I gaze through the looking glass
And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven

Sacred geometry
Where movement is poetry
Visions of you and me forever

Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light

Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Let the dark waltz begin

Oh let me wheel - let me spin
Let it take me again
Turning me into the light

馬英九....

But in so far as he fails to cultivate his personal wisdom

or the voice of his soul (Sun), and in so far as he relies on his planets' aspects

and they reflect such afflictions as give rise to

unrecognizable voids, chaos or untrue philosophical limits (Pluto),

misdirected sentimentality, faith or promises (Neptune),

misguided self-determination or freedom to will (Uranus),

a pitiful humility or short-sighted contract (Saturn),

a misplaced or overweening pride or ambition (Jupiter),

a poor grade of execution or combativeness (Mars),

an excessive love of ease or pleasure of perfection in beauty (Venus), or

a questionable wit, idea or thought (Mercury),

then he will be out of his atitude in any latitudes

where fixed stars accentuate any of these planetary defects;

and neither prayers nor persuasions will prevail nor good advice

be welcomed.  He will suffer as one breaking the nature's law.

It is never that the Invisible Power is at fault. 

Remember.. all visible colors of light are merely Reactions to the human

eyes, as they were but signaling messages through the physical medium

and, thus, NOT the Original Cause of Action.
