Come, Come Fly Me To Mars

COME, COME FLY ME TO MARS Come, come, my guiding light, Fly me to the skies in the highest above, To be the heavenly guest, amongst the angels, To the hospitable, intriguing and luring destination, Amongst the stars of heaven and their constellations! When I ride on the wings of dusk, Our dreams reflect through the bright moonlight. The rising of Aries from the twilight sea, And the setting age of Libra in the distant horizon, Bring hopeful tides and dreams that forever rule over our destiny! When I ski on the broad flat rings of Saturn, I see the yellow sun rise in your sweet blue eyes. When I settle on the far side of the roars of rough seas of Venus, And the life giving spirit grows faint within me in Jupiter, You illuminate me with energy and recharge my batteries! As I journey endlessly and ascend through spacecraft, East of the stimulating Sun and west of the arousing Moon, To the endless new sound of the Ram’s horn, Surely, the sun will not smite me by the day, Nor the moon at night, with you beside me! Come; come fly me to Mars, to our heavenly destination, To the red planet teeming with intricate canals, To waterways, rivers and silver lakes so intelligently designed, To the planetary satellites, so intriguing and amusing, Whose variety and colour continue to invoke awe and wonder! When Mars is aligned to the Sun, Mercury, and Venus, Saturn, Earth, and Pluto are on one straight line, Jupiter entering Leo, Moon squatting in Capricorn, Uranus awakening and Neptune unifying us, Surely, love and peace will engulf us for all eternity! Oh, my guiding light, please take my hand and show me around! Let me see what Summers and Autumns are like in Mars, And when we awake to the seasons of singing, Flowers blossoming and early fruits forming, With sweet smelling scents to adore, Surely, this is the dawning age of our Spring in Mars
