AT A LUNAR ECLIPSE

Thy shadow, Earth, from Pole to Central Sea,
Now steals along upon the Moon's meek shine
In even monochrome and curving line
Of imperturbable serenity.

How shall I link such sun-cast symmetry
With the torn troubled form I know as thine,
That profile, placid as a brow divine,
With continents of moil and misery?

And can immense Mortality but throw
So small a shade, and Heaven's high human scheme
Be hemmed within the coasts yon arc implies?

Is such the stellar gauge of earthly show,
Nation at war with nation, brains that teem,
Heroes, and women fairer than the skies?

--- Thomas Hardy 

Twilight is over, and the Moon of night

Draws to its zenith, as beyond the stream

Dance the wild witches, fair as a dream

In garden, naked in Diana's sight,

Flaming Censers on the sweet altar, light

Gleams on the waters, drifting vapours teem,

Laughter and swaying white shoulders gleam.

Oh joy and wonder at their lovely sight!

Guarding Angel

When times are hard, were feeling low, We don't know where we want to go it's time we need to know.

An Angel to guide you on your way
An Angel to brighten your day

When you need an uplifting thought A hand to hold or to hug a lot

An Angel to sit with you awhile
An Angel to make you smile

Our Angel knows our dented soul. The friend comes from an unknown
source and soon we feel complete once more.

An Angel to encourage and guide
An Angel to stay by your side.

Three Essentials of Magick

Imagination, Emotion and Feeling

If Only the Sun Would Rise

If the sun would rise, I would be grateful.
Because a new day is starting.
Not like yesterday, or the day before;
A day when no one should be hateful.

If only the sun would rise,
I’d spend the day with you,
And maybe the night,
Until the day anew.

It would be so lovely,
If the sun would rise,
That maybe,
There would be a surprise.

I love you too much,
To let you go up to the skies,
If only the sun would rise.

If only the sun would rise,
I’d spend the day with you,
And maybe the night,
Until the day anew.

I would appreciate your every thought,
And then right on the spot,
To our surprise,
The morning sun will rise.
--- Andrew Long

God's Gift - Nature

When the beautiful morning comes
The rays of rising sun kiss her
When the garden of nature open its heart
The garden of flowers hugs her to welcome
When the trees dance to tune of wind
The birds singing to the nature's choir
When the gentleness of nature is filled pleasure
Then the earth get wet with weather
When the nature forgets its vastness
Then the God shows her how big her place on earth
Let us thank God for his creation and given us
eyes to see lovely gift - Nature
