20,000 leagues under the sea
The jewels create a mystery so bright
Enlightening, foreboding, daydreamers delight
A journey of discovery inside and out
Propelled through the maelstrom leaving a vortex
Confusion remains, ahead excites
The bearing right leads to greater depth greater pressure
Bearing left isn’t worth contemplating just for measure
Of what mettle is this metal?
Forged in life’s smith yet not anonymous
Cognizant that the unknown awaits
Fear from too deep a contemplate
A fluid so turbulent one finds
Yet laminar isn’t a desire
Through the coal and the fire
Burns, resolves, hardens
If you stray from the light the more it darkens
All the while the assiduous sea appears calm
