History Rising from the Sea
Treasure from the sea
Golden doubloon
Sixteenth century artifact
By ancestors hewn
Earth's history lays buried
Beneath five oceans
As undersea tremors
Create violent commotions
Freeing from Spanish galleons
Precious metals, gemstones,
To greet early beachcombers
History on loan

Ready to set sail to each uncharted land.

Unveiling mysteries on the...

Gaining fame and fortune by valour;
He made a...

I have seen them in
the gray, untimely dusks,
gleefully playing with lost ships
among coral rock,
golden hair tossing about

Whispers on the Wind, Dreams in White ArrayAdrift on azure seas, where sunlight softly spills,
Feathery clouds, like galleons, climb imagination's hills.

They carry hidden treasures, secrets whispered through the trees.
No anchor holds them fast, these vessels...
