Open Ocean

Neptune's Score

should you trademark the ocean
redesign all that’s blue
steal from a jealous tide
neptune’s old score is long overdue
will you pay back the debt you can’t hide?

can you fly like the devil
on white angel wings
falling through space while you sleep
see ocean’s illusion of fine silver linings
are you flying too close to the Deep?

did you hear the bell toll
and know it’s too late
to trade war and peace on a stage
for limelight, a bargain and pieces of eight
empty promises for a cage?

will you wait for the moon
to break into two
the sun to pass under the sea
a river to flow beneath what is true
are you waiting for you and for me?
