the natural philosopher

Summary:

Hear, oh Muse, thy son pursues thy counsel

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

Hear, oh Muse, thy son pursues thy counsel
He kneels in reverence before thy studded sphere
Whose stars above boast the histories of old

Curious Urania, thy son marvels beside thee
Imbue his hands with thy divine breath
Guide his eyes before the heavens
Let his mind hazard thy wonders

Brilliant Urania, who peers into the void above
Allow thine inspiration a smile upon him
Grace his tools with quickened prophecy
And his eyes cold discernment

Hark! boy before the Ever Inquisitive
Open thine heart before Her
Move thy hand in accordance to Her guidance
And scoff not at Her majesties

Notes:

I’ve had this in my drafts for forever and figured I’d might as well toss it into the world. I was watching Overly Sarcastic Productions’ video on the Muses and was hit with an overwhelming sense of inspiration for poetry so do with that as you will…

This is about Fiona and his love for the natural world and ties in pretty well with my hc that he would’ve specialized in astrophysics had he stayed a physicist for longer!

As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
