(some Of) the Moons of Neptune Speak Out

Triton: We are here for the gathering, For the awakening of our nearest stars. We care little of what the other has to say. We only want what's best for ourselves. Nereid: I've been dust-flexing for many suns now. I grow weaker with each turn. My level of solitude in the white realm, though, Never feels burdensome Naiad: These are all things to consider Loops threading our thoughts, Like the music, we are waves and Vibrations. Thalassa: Ssshhhhh I am trying to sleep and There are no more secrets anymore anyway We are stuck out here in Wonder and contentment I contend to nap! Despina: Huusshhhhh... Because silence is our friend There's been no meteors, No blurring debris for ages! Let us be thankful... Larissa: I am thankful that I have you And me, And I'm thankful to feel thankful, Though panels from other realms keep falling-- We are changing! Proteus: I will recite something I heard right before my last collision: You're going to get hit again and again And again and you're just gonna have to learn to take it. (Ahem). That's how I feel, I guess. Galatea, Shepherd Moon, floated Akimbo to the Milky Way, Listening to the noise of the others Listening to a universe of lovers.
