Road For a Curious Mind's Journey

The Bimini Road is the one that I travel Seeking the answers to history and lore This undersea road has been tied to Atlantis Who went here before, millennia ago or more? Questions raised: was it journeyed on foot or horseback Did Atlantis merchants use Bimini’s Road for trade I remain on a quest for lost civilizations How was this road constructed? How were huge stones laid? It was September Second, 1968 When in shallow waters off the Bimini Coast This curious wedged rock limestone road was first found Beckoning curiosity seekers like me the most With snorkels and fins I’ve swum over this structure Bubbles rose as I surveyed rocks fitted in place Speculation abounds and my intrigue’s profound Such a thrill; curiosity can’t be erased Surely it is simpler to navigate highways Or explore the paths of New Hampshire’s White Mountains But if ever a road were less travelled today It’s the one filled by imagination’s fountains A road that leads us back to envision the past Is the one that I prefer to travel upon If ever I learn what became of Atlantis My life quest may be answered by Bimini’s spawn by Carolyn Devonshire For Constance's Road Less Travelled contest

What a Gem of a Poem. I felt a serene joy while travelling with your lines on that ages old Road. A brilliant piece of writing my friend and an effort to keep alive the golden and forgotten history of our by gone ages. And many thanks for your good wishes on my Poem Tree Roots and the Light. Love and best wishes.....Ravindra.....Carolyn Devonshire

Very interesting and well written. Have you ever read any of Edgar Cayce's stuff? He was an interesting man/psychic who had a fascination with Atlantis. Joe
