As Deep As The Ocean
Beneath the simple, fleeting meanings,
lay undisturbed knowledge of gleamings
glittering like rays of polished gold,
beating out the lies of old.
they wait to be discovered, found,
staying beneath the solid ground.
Hard, ambitious looking is required;
our human brains must be rewired.
The thoughtless, unmindful marvels of late
don’t compare to learning of no date,
The Holy Grail inside its grip,
watching your eyes as the scales tip.
