Woot! Finally having that damn bbq. Was starting to wonder if it was just all talk again. Warm breeze, hot food, good booze, pretty stars and mates. Pls hold back the clouds God. Pls Pls Pls. Sounds like a smashing time. Now if only things will go as planned heh. Better top up that lighter or we'll have a repeat performance of the last bbq.

Penang. Im just going to go with the flow. IMO I do find "meet the family sessions" rather droll. Plus seriously now, "first impressions are cheap auditions" no? Heh. Plastic smiles and self introductions, presumptions and sweeping generalisations... not exactly my idea of a relexing 'vacation'... not even a pretend one. If one has to try and relex oneself... one is already doing too much work to actually be relexing. But hey if it means tt much to him. Im there. Ohana yea?

...
...Fan on high

I really should stop walking into HMV 'just to kill time'. It's killing my wallet too.
Recent indulgence includes The Who, Joni Mitchell, Scissor Sisters, Artic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse, Barenaked Ladies. Old stuff. Almost made off with KT tunstall too but have decided that I'll just raid my friend's cd rack.

Finally found out the bloody tune I was humming all the time is from "Por Una Cabeza". Lovely lovely tune.

Borrowed Nabucco from the Esp Lib. Joy!

Finally plunked meself down on the couch and watched 'Perfume'. I felt cheated. Probably due to the fact that I throughly enjoyed the book back when I first read it and was expecting the same vivid mental pictures from the movie. I was left cold. Maybe Im not being fair but honestly now, the movie lacked the same intensity the book had. It was too narrative and rather blend compared to the book really. I couldnt sit still after an hr. Maybe ya'll should stop ruining good books and well, marvel comics too for that matter. For those of you who thought the movie was fantastic, chilling, gripping and invocative... read the book. Read!

...
... I should chain my phone to me person.

guilt trip over.

I understand now.

Was always drawing it from you.

Gotta do that now...

Being conscious about it doesnt make it any easier though heh ;)

Rain how apt. Shit day... have done absolutely nothing right. Hit me over the head and get it done with I say.

Maybe I should stop psychoanalysing myself... guilt is my least fav emotion.

I hate what I've been today. Its pathetic. Moody. Slow. Pessimist. Weak. Selfdoubting. I would punch myself if I saw me walking down the road.

What has become of me? Never would I have thought that this day would come.

Y: I saw myself in the mirror
X: yeah that's what they're generally used for
Y: what?
X: mirrors
Y: what about them?
X: ?!? you said you saw yourself in the mirror
Y: yea this morning
X: so I said 'that's what they're generally used for
Y: used for what?
X: ack!! looking at oneself!
Y: mornings?
X: *faints*

"Muse>Tango: Off for a vacation"

nooo.... dont leave me!

Hey you
same old, nothing new. well nothing of significant importance anyway. I did however got to know of this dark chocolate covered coffee beans that hahah... really does have soem kick in it. (yea yea i know it aint new... I just havnt seen them ard alright heh). oh jitters... kinda co-lead no... er more like sang 2 songs for worship during the leaders meeting.
Ayee... its funny methinks. Really, ask me stand up infront of a crowd and sing i have no problem with, its just that worship's a different ball game no? Im pretty good at performing if I might so boldly say but when it comes to worship its not the same right? lol. I hesitate cause I don't wanna just be 'performing' which is what im familiar with... I actually do wanna have an antenna reaching out and up to God.

Heard Tanya's 2 demos on her myspace today. Damn Im missing her stuff. Be praying for the day another Eng. album of hers'll hit the shelves. Go T!!
Btw: YAMIE!!! Desp. tryin to contact you woman... if by some miricle you see this, do drop me a text. Ive lost my phone along with your number and I want my "Bored" album *grin* and of course to keep in contact with you heh. But i do really want the "Bored" album.

ayyee...long day long day... *hums*its a hard day's night*
ohoh...its been exhilarating though. Never thought Id have so much fun in a chinese svc .(considering I don't really know what the bleeding hell is going LoL) language barrier you see.
Ok I was rather "gan chiong" at the start of one of the songs and completely and utterly forgot the strumming pattern. And I had no clue from the drummer either cuz it was my intro haha. Richard took one look at me face and he knew I forgot. Well I figured it out 2 bars into the first verse heh. Thank God. And thanks to ya'll for that lil prayer u said for me :)
But yea... it was great... much less jittery.Worship I did. And the butterflies who decided to infest my stomach during the G12 Women's worship have left me alone this time. For which I am grateful for my colourful fluttery friends. Leave me be till I call thee.

well... joy

Being able to lay it all.. and I mean all, and know that all your skills, talents, money, wahtever, came from Him and Him alone isnt being weak or dependable. Fact is without depending on Him we're absolutely nothing. Without Him we ARE nothing. For those who have known me for a long time now you know this isnt what ol Tango wld say but this is exactly what I would say now. I would have never taken into account things which are not plausible or to say I need anyone... but I do... We all do. And don't get me worng.. I'm smiling my lips off i say say this. It is an incredible feeling to know that He is watchign over you. Sitting there beside you. Like seriously feel it in your heart and soul His presence. I mean, at the risk of sounding cliche here, words cannot discribe it. Success doesnt get to our head, failure doesnt linger in you heart. As long as I know that Im walking in the centre of His will is all that matters to me now. And if you think thats an easy feat well... "I mean hey tts a simple life mate" heh think again really... its far from it... I gotta connect whats in my head with my heart... knowing it isnt just enough... everyones got thier 'stronghold'... this is... was mine...

I walked away,
planned my life and left,
told Daddy I'll be back someday.
Just, Im all grown up so I think its time
for me to go my way.
I know right from wrong,
won't stray too far,
you know im wise,
you know im strong.
Your lil girl's gonna shake the grounds.
I'll be back someday.
Just time I played this game my way.
Pass the gates and off the narrow road
took a left to Windser Els.
Got lost in the town seemed like forty years,
nothings gone right,
looks like this is what they call
hitting the ground.
What the hell was wrong with me
what possesed me to think,
that all my success
was just me and my strength,
that Daddy had no hand in it.
Ive shed enough tears
felt enough pain
laid down my bloody pride

learnt life's lesson the hard way.

With new revalation
and a faith shaken and strengthen
this rebels finally coming home Daddy,
and shes coming home to stay.

March 2007

~Night Divine~
You broke the silence with your entrance
A grand awakening to my soul.
Cutting through the darkened night,
your movements a whisper in the wind.
Alluring me with your intoxicating scent,
you assault my senses completly.
Your touch gentle and light,
never lingering,
leaves me aching,
shivering for more.
You envelope me, molding against my skin
we breathe our breaths as one.
Burning this night and its sensation
into our minds as divine memories it will become.
Now into this comfertable silence we settle,
our breaths the only sound.
Though beyond the horizon hints your painful departure
I know we'll be one again
when darkness comes around.

2004

Like a knife dripping with animosity so strong it kills

Slowly it slices thru every fibre and tendon,

every muscle and sinew.

Unto which it finds,

the heart of the matter

plunging into thee

A crimson mess

A black rose left

The black rose,

a bad omen,

The Wise Lady of Death

its true self unknown to all.

That beyond its black petals,

beyond the melacholy,

so deep a red rose springs forth and blooms.

So dark a shade of red it mystifies. So full in color it beutifies.

A comfort of sorts which i might find... which i will find ............

A Black Rose.

-Tango

2004

In solitude I dwell

drained and used .

Barren is my soul

longing yet again,

to be set on fire.

Beyond the dunes a shadow

a body of solace

long awaited acquaintance your

let your presence grace this shattered home.

-Tango

Walls built, fortressed my heart

alone to ponder

Safe?

Surprised than how it crumbled

one touch

yours

all it takes.

Relief took over,

a welcomed change,

unfortunate tho it departed.

fleeting yes,

frustration sets,

joy attained forgottened.

Trapped by walls a heart of ice

A single tear a silent cry

Into the sky, I draw freedom

The sea, its waters calms

Tho soothing at a moments notice tho peace washes over.

Linger it shan't

Linger it won't

-Tango

2004

~Laid to rest upon a bed of petals,
The ocean calling in the distance.
Carried like a queen towards the bekoning waters,
Solemn are their faces.

Dry your eyes, let ye tears not fall,
for this the end it shant be.
Tho thy future includes me not,
Let our happy memories live.~

- Tango

I hav to say this...i cant contain it....i nd all to know...
...
..
.
..
...

JESUS! I LOVE YOU!

ok. Hmm. On an entirely different note... had cell this week... talked abt having a vision , perserverence...dreams, visions...how God can mold our dreams into his vision... Something abt meeting us halfway. My dream? ... I want to be on stage, in front of a massive audience, Broadway, a west end theater... to be an actor, a singer... a dancer?... have my own star on Hollywood boulevard? ... use all tt for God? I really do...want to be able to use all tt for God.
.........................................................................................


It said tt we shld ask God to give us a passion for the lost...and really sometimes, for the love of go..er..peanuts, I have no clue how some will start crying while praying for some total stranger... tt just escapes me. Really it does

Well, I certainly cant say I now have an immense passion for the lost, but I think I got a small taste of what its like just know. I cannot ,do not understand how many say they cant find Nirvana , peace, wodeva u choose to call it, but yet continue to say tt they still arnt ready to jump into the arms of One who can give them all tt they seek...someone who will fill tt void in their souls. Was talking to a friend of mine, and well 'religion' popped up. You know, maybe because shes a friend, and I do already care for her....but I just cant help but feel an ache in my heart that she feels like a "lost sheep" but yet still isnt 'ready'. So I told her tt it was fine if we not talk abt it now ,if you're not ready... Suddenly i song popped into my haed so i shared it with her...


Before the world began, you were on His mind
and every tear you cry, is precious in His eyes
Because of His great love, He gave His only son
everything was done so you would come

Come to the Father, tho you gift is small
open hearts open lives He will take them all
the power of His word , the power of His life
everything was done so would come
(yea we know this song dont we)

I suppose the words to tt song never hit as hard as it did just know...when I was half way through typin it... I suddenly felt little warm droplets cascading down my cheeks... well lets just say those droplets turned to streams.. get? yes I did look quite silly trying to type while wiping furiously at my face...sort of like trying to drive with your hand sticking out the windown wiping the windscreen. anyways...I...I just.....I ...urgh! ok, it just really hurts that she cant find the peace she see seeks... *sigh*
guess i'll just continue P.U.S.H -ing

Than theres this other friend of mine, new believer, abt 2 mths old. Shes going to her church's bible study grps and mid week and all tt...but she really doesnt look anywhere near ...er... 'guided'. example? Once we had a convo with a fellow believer and she was questioning faith, how its like politics, comparing it to this and tt... how its like God dangles a carrot infront of us, with the promise of eternal life tt He's the only way.... so ppl believe cuz of tt incentive... I shld have just told her the verse abt how carnal man er....er..oh now I remember why I didnt...cuz I cant remember the whole exact verse... (time to get back to doin memory verses) ... anyway, u know which verse im referring to right? ...Sometimes I see her sitting there, looking like shes got the world on her mind... man! I just you know, tell her to lay it all at the cross... believe with whats in here *points to heart*.... not with whats in here *points to head*

tts something which I have to constantly kick myself in the arse over too... Well... *exhales*

Oh dearie me... how long has it been? since june? *counts* 6 bloody mths? how looong indeed i say.
Its been half a yr since my last update. Half a bleeding yr this has laid dormant, waiting silently for a new lease of life. Well now...i cant exactly say...i cant guaratee tt i'll constantly update this - simply beacuse im way too busy and i really see no point in doing thoes day-to-day updates. *groan* I'll try my darndest to put somethign up frm time to time aye.

Anyhoo... the Os are over, as many do know... unfortunatly so is Joseph *sniff*. Heh bloody thing always makes me tear up. I do seriously miss the reharsals and them little get-togethers b4 and after reharsals. Miss the teachers, miss mic checks... yes im sounding pretty much like a sorry sob right abt now. O well...

Back to sch every tues (in due time, weds) and thurs to help the choir... cant seem to part with that sordid place now can I... hahah wretched sch, even post-graduation i am still a loyal slave to thee.

Alright than, i guess tts all for now. Dotn want to bloody over do it now aye...

p.s hey TPE hows the blue?? like it? *evil laugh*

p.p.s hey u, yea u there young fella. On the off chance u're reading this, cld u pls , for the love of....urgh..just stop walking on eggshells ard me ok. (yea im talking to you...the one whos DVD im abt to wear out)

Everybody grows old, how many actually grow up?
 
One would probably realise by now that everytime im in here complaining about something  like that *points to sentence above*...it bloody has something to do with my parents. "not again??" you say. Well things like that happen, like a broken record. Rather laughable  this time round. Childish behaviour present too.
In short this is wod happened. Car batt went flat. Hung ard for about 30 mins. Cldnt jump start the thing. Sandra, Crystal and I took a cab home first. Dad called.   Mom got pissed at him cuz he told her the mechenic said tt he porbably didnt connect the jump start cables properly. She dented the car (stupid and bloody childish). Hasnt come home yet. My dad is worried sick.

Now isnt that one of the dumbest thign ever. Oh btw, the mechenic was wrong abt my dad doin the cable wrong. Man~  brainless activity on the rise.
 
 
oh on a happy note....flag day on sat was mostly fun *smilez*.

hey all. im back frm the great beyond. Just managed to untangle myslef frm my selfconsuming web of music and dance...also known as the daily '3-8 under the stars reharsals'. 'hectic' barely cuts it. However, being ard the mates ,who so happened to have gotten really close after 8 mths of reharsals, makes it a whole lot more sufferable. Not forgeting here that im doing what i love. :)

oh btw, for thoes who didnt get the news. IM SINGING ON THE 28th of AUG!! I GOT THE PART!! and like i said....thnx for praying :)

on to more pressing matters... leeches!

yup the stick to you, suck your blood, benefit frm it, while you dont get anything out of the whole deal. MyMyMy~

anyways, reacently 2 new leeches have just attached themselves to me. My gawd are they pesky lil imps. They seem to enjoy hanging ard me and pester me abt anything and everything...unfortuantely they have taken a special intrest in my 'love life'. Its rather embaressing especially when they scream frm across the corridor just to say "HI"!! o well. I reckon they'll make a very gd paparazzi team. i've been trying to dodge them for the past few days but nth seems to be working.

drats i gotta stop here for now...mom wants me in bed. Problem is i cant slp....but she doesnt noe tt now does she....

Gone.

Hey i've cooked up another blog, just for my "writings". ya noe wod i mean. I'll update tt regularly with new poems, and old ones just to keep things moving. site's ....

do tell me wod u think of the idea...tho u shld noe by noe i'll still have it up no matter what you say :p
*jk* comments are gladly welcomed

Recent events have brought to my attention some questions about the emotional and matuarity level of the young ladies in my presense. One of which is their idea of romantic fantasy like realationships. qoute " but i feel so lonely, i need some one to hold, i nd someone to confort me and love me. Theirs a void in me that nds to be filled." Dahling~ you my dear have been reading to many romance novels and watchig more than your share of melodramatic movies. And nd I tell you, your -16+. how far in this fantasy of yours can u go...cuz frankly unless you are gonna shag the guy these "love" fantasy istn gonna happen. On another note. guys our age arnt as muture both mentally and emotionally so dont get your hopes up on a romantic "prince charming sweepin you off your feet" kinda romance. Get a hold of youself!!! For thoes who gets thier heart broken and jumps straight headfirst into another relationship are just plain STUPID and are askin for it. For thoes other 16 yr old lasses who are waitin for thier prince charming at this stage shld get a life get a hobby go mug somethin...anythin...
Now im not saying tt thoes who are in a relationship now are stupid or idtiots....if you have been happy for a long long time...you most probably know what your doing. Gd on ya mate. Be careful. To the rest....refrain frm doin so pls...you've got yrs down the road to find ur "dahlin" .

Heres another problem ive encountered (gurl im not arrowing you k. others have been tellin me tt thier havin the same problem). so you say you guys are best friends, hes ur listenin ear , vice-verser. You guys understand each other so well. Both are the other's shoulder to cry on. Next thing you kow...rumours are spreadin tt one likes the other in more than a friend kinda way...and u start thinkin...what if. what if we get together. since we know each other so well....best freinds after all. What if......your heads tellin you that it so might work. But do u 2 really like each other in that way if not for the rumours and the thought that you are feeling empty(refer above paragraph). Trust me i know how it feels. Big dilemma!! 2 things can happen....it actually works and kudos for you. or.....there goes your friendship...you may say you guys will still be friends...but will it still be the same. can you confirm it wont be awkward? can u guys still seat shoulder to shoulder without feeling awkward? can you guys put ur arms over each other's shoulder without feeling wierd?....will you still be able to snuggle and chill and share your problems? Are u emotionally prepared? wod abt mentally? Is it worth risking this friendship that was once so close and confertable.....im not gonna comment weither you should or should not....just wanted to share my 2 cents, some things which you might wanna think abt before "saying something stupid like I love you"

hey dotn get the wrong idea...if you guys/gals still nd someone to talk to you have my number :)

love always

p.s sh*t i feel like aunt agony or somethin....LoL *ewwwwwwww*

Hey all. I've got the coolest b'dae prezzie ever...haha..... guess wod i got?? anyone?? anyone at all?? well.....i've got a pair of hand cuffs! lol. *get your mind out of the gutter ok* yea well...lotsa ppl have been givin me the whole "kinky" "bondage" thing..haha...i gotta fess up tts exactly the first thing that came to mind when i saw it.....shows how "pure" and "innocent" our 'young' minds really ar arye. *grin* anyways...totally awesome..looks bloody real...i tried to lock myself up with it too *haha* .... and no i did not mean it in that sense.... *double grin* i'll show it to ya'll another time.... ciao for now..

This past wks i've been feeling better...alil lighter less burdened... I was finally "fine", or so i thought.
I was talking to someone the other day, abt wod i was feeling a couple mths back. And so it hit me that i didnt really get rid of everything. I just buried myself in stuff, sch, reharsals, other peoples problems, so i didnt have to think abt my own. I thought i got rid of those sorry buggers but i didnt..they're still lurking somewhere . Now im not saying tt im feeling as bad as i was thoes bloody mths...i am ,like i said, feeling better, much. But i seriously honestly just want to be able to enjoy life again...as they say... life IS rather short now isnt it. I missed the times where i had nth botherin me. constant migranes i can do without too. Sleepness nights unwanted. So yea happy happy joy joy. Just keep me in your prayers...whoever it is tts reading. Thank you :) Beacuse i still have a lil more to settle.
Anyways...if you see me ard not lookin my best....a pat on the back or a hug is greatly appreciated :)

love,
ME

*bump* Charity Car Wash tmr. $5 per car. If you want a wax job u gotta pay more! haha..... yea my class is collecting for the Straits times sch pocket money fund. :)

Yesterday...or last night rather, a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders. A great shift of paradigm. I dont know how or when exactly...but it suddenly hit me last night during service. "What the hell is wrong with me. Im giving myself way too much pressure. I've been nth but jumpy the last wks. Nth but paranoid. I literally jumped when my phone rings. Its not bloody worth it. She's not bloody worth it. This thing's not bloody worth it." And after all this time...i finally found the courage to say... "God, I put this into your hands! Grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change. Courage to change the things i can. And some darn wisdom to know the bloody difference. Into your hands i place this situation."
Tts that. Final step (i hope)....30th April. Doesnt matter wod happens. WOdeva it is..... friends we still are....nths gonna change tt :) *grin* man...tts sounded real corny...haha...nevertheless its the truth....

Tiny Dancer

Blue jean baby, L.A lady
She was the seamstress for the band
Pretty eyes, pirate smile
She'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must've seen her
dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks, out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man, he makes her stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the song
The words she knows
The tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here, with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
(repeat)

Blue jean baby, L.A lady
She was the seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile
you married a music man
Ballerina, you must've seen her,
dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly

But realli how do tell your teacher that u think she is not doin her job properly, and that she is deaf...well she is....women cant even tell if they ppl are flat or out of tune. *censored*...And mind you im not being bias or prejudice...Ppl in the cast do agree with me. And maybe *censored* 2 cents...and i do not noe much abt singing like *censored*....but i sure as hell noe a flat note when i hear one....Yea this may sound egotitical and self centered...but I do think i can do a better job than *censored*....yes i do. ANd i wish some one wld listen to me when iam giving me 3 cents.....maybe i've got to tell *censored* for it to work...hmml....

I fear a great depression .
An unforseen gloom
,that only a few weeks ago seemed so distant,
threatening clarity.
The air reaks of it.
I can feel it in the people,
I can feel it in me.
A pivotal point in this episode.
Time slows as it aproaches.
Every 'tick' a resounding boom against my chest.
Within me,
a lake once abundant, now lay desolate;
a parch desert void of emotion.
So forgive me i ask of you
if i am distant.
For in confussion i ponder
...as what i saw is not what i am about to recieve.

Sometimes its breathy, sorta i-dont-have-a-care-in-the-world, laid back feel. than u got the rocker chick feel, like in "just like the movies". Than u got the quiet demure muture sound...somethin like in "Hello God".

Next thing i like abt her is a lyrics...wod can i say but wow.... meaningful, veri nicely written. she writes good...

i realli dont noe how to put it...its like i like the whole pakage ya noe....shes a real nice person, she writes damn good songs, and i like the way she sounds. So there. :) im not a groupie....i dont like just cos i like her...

this song....lovely lyrics and well...i've been replayin it in my head these past wks....somehow the words and the feel of the music just seem to speak to me......happy sigh~

~Still~
Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hands

When the ocean rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father you are King over the floods
And i will be still and know your God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
in quietness and trust

*Happy Post* :) sort of anyway......

Psalm 20:1-5

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 May the LORD answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary
and grant you support from Zion.
3 May he remember all your sacrifices
and accept your burnt offerings. Selah
4 May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed.
5 We will shout for joy when you are victorious
and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the LORD grant all your requests.

Frst day of sch....was HORRID! Was happy to see my frends after the long break tho. The sch hall's a diffrent colour, which FYI isnt very suitable for a sec sch. anyways, this will be my last yr there and no matter what i say, i'll still miss the place. The crazy sch mates and equally crazy teachers... o well. but am quite bloody happy to be out :) i'd prefer looking in rm the outside.


oh and my new yrs resolution is : I'm gonna get 4 credits and pass my math!!

Life's been throwing me punches lately. Don't know why. Its kinda pissing me off real bad. Wish everyone will just bugger off really. These days i think 'anxiety' have become mymiddle name. i'm so pissed off and bothered that i havnt been able to concentrate on things that DO matter. Even my poems are on stall. And them bloody bastards just dont get it that they arnt only stressing themselves out but also ME. Right now i just wanna continue writeing my poems, practice my guit. and concentrate on "JOSEPH".
Everything else....PISS OFF ya hear??

To the others who matter (who are is only a hand full of u guys ok)......THANK YOU! From the depths of my heart and soul.

To God.....I know you are there for me....i thank you for everything. both the bad and the good. i know they happen for a reason and you wont give me more than i can tahan. :)

with love~

Heres a poem i came across just now. its lovely, hope u'll like it too.

A Nocturnal Reverie

In such a night, when every louder wind
Is to its distant cavern safe confined;
And only gentle Zephyr fans his wings,
And lonely Philomel, still waking, sings;
Or from some tree, famed for the owl's delight,
She, hollowing clear, directs the wand'rer right:
In such a night, when passing clouds give place,
Or thinly veil the heav'ns' mysterious face;
When in some river, overhung with green,
The waving moon and trembling leaves are seen;
When freshened grass now bears itself upright,
And makes cool banks to pleasing rest invite,
Whence springs the woodbind, and the bramble-rose,
And where the sleepy cowslip sheltered grows;
Whilst now a paler hue the foxglove takes,
Yet checkers still with red the dusky brakes
When scattered glow-worms, but in twilight fine,
Shew trivial beauties watch their hour to shine;
Whilst Salisb'ry stands the test of every light,
In perfect charms, and perfect virtue bright:
When odors, which declined repelling day,
Through temp'rate air uninterrupted stray;
When darkened groves their softest shadows wear,
And falling waters we distinctly hear;
When through the gloom more venerable shows
Some ancient fabric, awful in repose,
While sunburnt hills their swarthy looks conceal,
And swelling haycocks thicken up the vale:
When the loosed horse now, as his pasture leads,
Comes slowly grazing through th' adjoining meads,
Whose stealing pace, and lengthened shade we fear,
Till torn-up forage in his teeth we hear:
When nibbling sheep at large pursue their food,
And unmolested kine rechew the cud;
When curlews cry beneath the village walls,
And to her straggling brood the partridge calls;
Their shortlived jubilee the creatures keep,
Which but endures, whilst tyrant man does sleep;
When a sedate content the spirit feels,
And no fierce light disturbs, whilst it reveals;
But silent musings urge the mind to seek
Something, too high for syllables to speak;
Till the free soul to a composedness charmed,
Finding the elements of rage disarmed,
O'er all below a solemn quiet grown,
Joys in th' inferior world, and thinks it like her own:
In such a night let me abroad remain,
Till morning breaks, and all's confused again;
Our cares, our toils, our clamors are renewed,
Or pleasures, seldom reached, again pursued.
Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea (1661–1720)
