Lovely Ruin of the Abyss

I’m a sunken ship. already thousands of feet deep. a beauty deserted to the ocean floor to adore. to be cherished by the depths and nothing more. where debris will only cover. no one will enter the darkness and find the core, because this ship has a secret lover. Many will jump into this veiled sea but few will risk the deathly swim. fools will search, find, and plea, but their hopes will be very dim. Bubbles will dribble up, fish will swish by, but only one is invited inside. The diver must have a big tank of air because the swim is a hassle, and those alive have been rare. The one that will find this ‘ol piece of junk, will find it to be a castle like a pearl amongst an ancient treasure trunk. No matter the appearance of how it has aged, this scuba diver can’t help to gaze. Admiring every trim and bolt that was laid, even the scuff markings in sight, it is an artistry in the shade. Once you have found this ship in the depths, trying to enter is an effort even more. Be wise how you come about this ship in the sea, be creative and crafty but don’t give up easily. Many have abandoned it; which is why it is on this ocean floor, because it’s worth enduring for.
