Underwater

Beneath the surface
I could see
such hidden fish

the whales

debris

which currents burgeon
into waves

old sunken ships

the bony graves
of all who perished
questing gold

the octopus

what maps withhold

the untold wonders

coral

lights
emerging from
much deeper nights
than anything I've ever known

concealed caves

ruins unknown

a sea of secrets so profound
my world views change
when I reach
ground.
