Two Constellations and a Quote from a Song

Prompt: It is said that the Archer is in love with the Virgo and is always trying to catch her. If he catches up with her and they fall in love, would the planets rotate? What would happen to the stars, moon and the sun? Have fun with this and write what you want.

Constellations are in the skies viewable by us at different times during a year. Archer or Sagittarius is the largest constellation and it has many bright stars in it. As to Virgo, it is viewable now during April and May in the evening sky. It is believed to be a galaxy cluster with one very bright star, Spica. All these factual stuff I found on the site, earthsky.org.

As to the mythical content of the saying, Virgo is supposed to personify Demeter’s daughter Persephone, who was abducted into the underworld. I don't think the archer, who is a much better, bigger, and more valiant being than the said maiden, should go that far for Virgo. My such opinion is due to the one person I know who was born under Virgo. Virgos can be too nitpicking and nasty. I would advise the archer to leave her alone.

Prompt: "When the past becomes the future. Time becomes a dream. Welcome to the dawn." Lyrics from a Prince Song, The Dawn

I never thought about this, but if my past became my future, I wouldn’t like to live through it again. In fact, I’d do anything to avoid it. Maybe Prince meant something like, “history repeats itself.”

If so, it could be that the fates are conspiring in our favor by repeating stuff, so the second time around we fix what we messed up when we had no experience and made mistakes. Maybe through repetition, we might be able to find a hidden treasure, too. This may have something to do with the idea in the movie, The Groundhog Day.

Only a few lyrics inspire me, mostly those written by Paul Simon. Otherwise, I bypass most of them, like this one. Must be my age.
