'Neath restless wind and wave <br />In its watery crypt <br />silent gray hulk <br />eternally sleeps. <br /> <br />What tragedy on high sea <br />doomed this traveler <br />to rest evermore. <br />In Neptune's Tomb. <br /> <br />Ceaselessly. <br />aquatic guardians patrol <br />in out and around <br />this muted monument. <br /> <br />What secrets <br />and stilled testaments <br />do they protect <br />do they conceal? <br /> <br />By the subdued light <br />from the world above <br />illuminated faintly. <br />See the shadowy silhouette. <br /> <br />By what grants <br />give alien seekers privilege <br />to invade freely <br />the still sanctity. <br /> <br />Would it not be <br />if from naught else <br />but respect and honor <br />to souls slumbering there. <br /> <br />To only pause and query <br />what tragic misfortune rendered <br />such disastrous consequence. <br />Offer homage and pass on by.<br /><br />Kurt(Sam) Hearth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/neptune-s-tomb/
