The ice is melting 
on my moon
while I am waiting my round-trip ticket 
on the earth.
The spring is coming 
in my icy homeland 
and life is reborn.

TNT and Nitro 
in the fastest blast in the universe.

Helium atoms are broken
into thousands of pages 
of the book War and Peace
while on the edge of the galactic haze
Messiah has appeared....

Named after the Roman God of the Sea 
Eternal is its beauty like the blue we cannot see 
Poseidon to the Greek, ice giant in reality 
Triton, the Luna of its land, above in its sky 
Under the ice is only a mystery 
No man has travelled thus far 
Eternal its beauty, foreign its reach

Planet with blue azure as the color
Orbits are elliptic and distant from the solar
Satellite here larger than the dwarfs is Triton moon
Equinox occurs after four score years soon
Inkling of diamond rain is seen which is quite quaint
Dominated with ice as sun rays are unduly faint
Over here is the great dark spot which is too odd
Neptune is the planet named after the Sea God...

The heavens are beautified
With strange stars
Who journeyed from their own sky
To pitch their tents amid our stars;

Seeing the unusual events
Some forced comets
Come from hidden airy tents
Blowing resonant trumpets;

A violent tiff is raging:
Some natural stars are falling

Like a wary young triton
Another comet comes: alone!
She comes to this bear-garden
Singing the imminence of nature’s return....
