Here we go again..

Simona
You're getting older
Your journey's been
Etched on your skin


Simona
Wish I had known that
What seemed so strong
has been and gone


I would call you up everyday Saturday night
And we both stayed out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973

Singing "Here we go again"

Simona
Wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now
The rain has gone

Simona
I guess it's over
My memory plays our tune
The same old song

I would call you up everyday Saturday night

And we both stayed out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing "Here we go again"

I would call you up everyday Saturday night
And we both stayed out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing "Here we go again"

You are The Star


Hope, expectation, Bright promises.


The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised


The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.

You are The Tower


Ambition, fighting, war, courage. Destruction, danger, fall, ruin.


The Tower represents war, destruction, but also spiritual renewal. Plans are disrupted. Your views and ideas will change as a result.


The Tower is a card about war, a war between the structures of lies and the lightning flash of truth. The Tower stands for "false concepts and institutions that we take for real." You have been shaken up; blinded by a shocking revelation. It sometimes takes that to see a truth that one refuses to see. Or to bring down beliefs that are so well constructed. What's most important to remember is that the tearing down of this structure, however painful, makes room for something new to be built.

One Art, Elizabeth Bishop

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.


--Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

by Ali Bin ABi Talib

دواءك فيك وما تشعر *** وداءك منك وما تبصر

أتزعم أنك جرم صغير *** وفيك انطوى العالم الأكبر؟

وأنت الكتاب المبين الذي *** بأحرفه يظهر المضمر

فلا حاجة لك في خارج *** يخبر عنك بما سطر

صبرى عليك طال

ٍSuddenly remembered this by Rajaa Belmeleih:

صبري عليك طال


وأحتار فيك أمري


جفى ولا دلال

خليت دمعي سال
ساال


على الخد صار يجري


يرضيك يا حال

هم ليلي نار ما ترحم


تشكي على أبكم أصم



والحال


وينك يطول البال



ياشوق جوال في موانىء الأمل يسأل



يحلف في قلبي لك محل




سيدي الوصل كم أعاني عذابي كم

الله يسامح من ظلم


والحال


وينك يا طول البال
