The Land Underwater

The Land Underwater

Tried, lied and edified in the high tide

Atop the water at the whim of wind and sea

Floating in ambiguous oceans

Sand on the bottom of 2/3rds

Of everything underwater

Meaning we inhabit

1/3rd of the highest peaks on earth

As our homes

Even the lowest valleys above ground

Are higher than any mountain underwater

So many animals and creatures

Never seen before

By anybody

Ever

The land underwater is

The last undiscovered place

On earth

The land underwater is

More of the earth than we know now

Which leaves a majority of the earth’s surface

Undiscovered

Untouched

As much a frontier as space is

The mountains and valleys underwater

The volcanoes and magma

Of the ever-infused energy

The Earth has inside her

When we know more

Maybe we will understand

This undiscovered land

Under the water’s surface face
