Children Of Poseidon



I wish that I could swim among dolphins free,
in seas of peacock blue with pimento suns,
like harmonious mermaids between two worlds,
skimming just beneath the waves of indanthrone.

Magnificent children of lord Poseidon
leap from the water and aspire to sky!
The adventurous vagabonds of the Mer,
racing as mighty ships of heroes pass by.

Behold! Mystic dolphins of the liquid blue
with the beak of a bird and tail of a fish,
once herald as King Neptune’s most noble steeds;
to swim free with dolphins is my only wish.
