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.
