QUOTE
The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient...One should lie empty, open, as a beach....waiting for a gift from the sea.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
DO NOT DISTURB THE WATERY TOMB
The deep holds secrets from time past
Sailors and passengers in the deep are aghast
As scavengers disturb their ghosts
Taking what they will from the ancient hosts
The Titanic lay sullen in the deep
With the souls of the lost now asleep
Now people pillage what was rightfully hoarded
In the tomb of the ship they so eagerly boarded
Graves in the sea are not viewed with reverence
Curses overcome the scavengers with such arrogance
Thieves pillage the treasure of those resting below
The ghosts of sea watch and they know
Take what you will from the beaches washed ashore
Offerings from the depths of the ocean floor
Trinkets released from the lost resting below
To the waves and the tides as they ebb and they flow
