The ancient waters
And it’s unexplored depths
Sunken treasures
Remnants of misfortunes
Epic battles fought
Over claims to treasures
To escape the tyranny
And run away with love
Waves engulfed some
Others escaped to shores
Some remain forever
Lost in unfathomable depths
The ancient waters
Find mention in historical memoirs
Traders found new territories
Many found new countries
Braving these waters
Would history be different
Without the ancient waters ©
