DAY #50: Playing Catch-Up with Neglected Neptune

Yes, the ancient creator of horses has been feeling neglected indeed, and so we give him another day in appeasement.

More wonderful odes from Aeon Woodford.

Ode: To Neptune

By Aeon Woodford

The Mystic Neptune, transcendent, gives us cause

To focus out on where his sphere does spin,

Immanent, conversely, gives us pause

To meditate on treasures deep within.

Melodic harp and strings, which culminate

In crowning exaltation—mystic choir,

A tribute to thine other worldly state

That draws us always deep—yet ever higher.

The brilliant, buoyant objects of thy state

Countless fathoms ‘neath tumultuous brine

From bubble perch we bobbl’ing contemplate

Primordial ooze, distracted from thy grand design.

If this protective shell would popping, break our stance,

Then finally we’d rejoin the great expanse.
