Proceed at Your Own Peril

     a dangerous dive into pools of the past

        praying to hit bottom… 

                       … then to shoot up at last

Dives, the only way to reach bottom...hopefully to rise with a treasure. Not the usual case.

Even if one hits the bottom, if he can rise, he is not defeated. Powerful.
