The Age of Aquarius

A child of the sixties 
Big dreams 
Big hair
     I was there

Now past my prime
fast running out of time
I don my hippiest attire
with flowers in my hair
I am sweet sixteen again 
     travelling back in time ~ I'm there

A show I never saw before
A truly iconic must see 
Songs still loved 
by young and old
now 50th anniversary

Off I go to see the show
happy souls high in the sky
back to an era of peace and love
I enter a psychedelic world
through a kaleidoscopic lens
              as the
Age of Aquarius begins…

     ‘The moon is in the Seventh House
      and Jupiter aligns with Mars
      peace will guide the planets
      and love will steer the stars’

               It is the dawning of
               The Age of Aquarius 
                            as
                 Hair ~ the musical
begins…

Written 11th July 2019 after seeing the iconic musical Hair…
