Do Not Disturb the Watery Tomb0

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
