Souls On the Seabed

Beneath the ocean's veiled expanse,
Where death's jaws in darkness dance,
Human spirit, explorer's flame,
Seeks conquest, building its name.

When the sea calls out its plea,
Hope and fear blend fervently,
Within its depths, a revelation lies,
Where hearts are bared, on daring tries.

Our feet have tread the solid ground,
Yet yearn to conquer seas profound,
Driven by questions that ignite,
A quest that sets our souls alight.

Death claims both warriors bold,
On battlefields and waters cold,
In a pill, they delved through sea's divide,
Never to return to the world they left behind.
