About This Poem
One Summer Long Ago part 3
the lonely prey swam for his life
Now alone with so much strife,
teeth bared in a snarl of fear I dove for cover
Past Neptune and Apollo and their dead lovers ,
hoping to lose them in the forest of kelp
Knowing in my heart I needed help
The whites lazily swam over head ,
Waiting, patiently waiting for their chance
Feeling all might be lost I prayed to their mighty host ,
Neptune deliver me from your guardians
And I will toast your name whenever you claim
Quick as summer lightning the dolphins came
bringing joy of heart and hope to my lonely plight
The battle raged , the dolphins darted amidst the whites
sleek and quick , nudging and butting they picked their prey apart
The whites parted allowing me to pass,
and to the surface as I started
these words echoed in my brain
Don’t come back ,my servants still wait ,
you got your prize but my secrets and jewels remain
I guard this place and I wont answer again
your pleas for help to stake your claim
