An Ode to The Occupants of The Titan Sub
In the depths where everything is dark,
Nothing exists and one tends to lose every mark,
Of the reality that lies above,
And the memories of the ones you love,
Appear to float by like voluptuous sirens,
And you think of the benevolent Titans,
Then as the pressure mounts you hear a creaking sound,
Slowly building up inside the hollow chamber where now only fear does abound,
Then as your heart races and it does frantically pound,
You feel you are to an unknown and impending doom bound,
And you summon all your Gods in the form of your fears,
And you gauge the ferocity of all the snares,
Building from above, bottom, left and right,
It is then you hold your equally fearful companion’s hand tight,
And you remember all that you loved and those you still love,
But they are far up and above, and you are here in the abyss now,
Where darkness spreads endlessly and the creaking sound becomes louder,
And all of a sudden you feel you are hit by a titanic sized aqueous boulder,
Everything implodes, but only your heart and your memories explode,
As they surface on the horizon of perception and your loved ones rush to the abode,
Of the Gods where castles of prayers are erected,
Prayers rising from the heart that gods have not defected,
There they rush, and implore,
But the Titans become quieter and they think Gods too ignore,
The cries of the lamenting and remorseful heart,
But little do they know praying is not an art,
It is a feeling sublime and serene that arises from within,
And when expressed with sincerity in the universe its resonance does deepen,
And then Gods respond with care,
And they always say, “darling, there is nothing to fear.”
This sounds assuaging for many reasons, known and unknown,
And your kin and kith experience the familiarity in these consolations offered by the unknown,
And to the five departed adventurers of the deep sea,
I hope in their Heavenward journey, now they shall new wonders see,
And be the part of a greater adventure,
That I call the God’s enterprising venture,
As for the wonder of the abyss,
There shall always be someone who for its thrill would miss,
Anything and everything else,
Because if he/she doesn't, then he/she will be someone else,
That is why they dare to take on the Gods of the dark and deep,
Because human passion is something that into the soul does seep,
And unless tasted and confronted, this adventurer residing within the soul does not let him/her to sleep,
So let me wish the 5 adventurers all the best on their new journey,
Where there is no need for submersibles for in that world one attains natural buoyancy, and this too is one hell of a journey!
As for those woe struck loved ones still residing in the realm of gravity,
I hope they find assuaging moments in their thoughtful proclivity,
Where they notice the universe flowing through their departed and loved one,
Because every adventure is an expression of belief in love for someone,
That someone who does not fear the abyss,
That someone who dares to be the one, and never miss,
The adventures that await him/her in those unknown realms,
Where even the Titans sometimes bear signs of qualms,
There let us go and seek the knowledge that awaits to reveal itself,
Only if the adventurer believes in himself/herself,
And I think that is where all 5 adventurers can always be found,
In the realm of the Titans where knowledge does abound, where knowledge does abound!
