What Lies Hidden Beneath
What lies hidden beneath…
Hidden beneath this tiny craft
Alone on the great big sea
There’s certainty in your eyes
No other explanation needed
You all saw what I saw
And now you try to erase that
Which you’ve plainly seen
But can’t quite explain
Rationalizing thoughts
With shaking heads
Convincing yourselves
It’s plain to see how
Darkened shadowy movements
Can look like something else
Perhaps now you’ve cleared it
Help from a willing minds
For we’d rather believe such
Anything at all
Rather than imagine
Something hidden beneath
Lurking in the icy depths
There, but unable to get a bearing
While steel-blue waves confuse
Distortions from refractions
Dazzling sunlight a distraction
Something wicked this way swims
Hungry eyes; never blinking
Just staring with a frozen gaze
Undulating
Fierce and stealthy
Thick teeth with angry points
Elongated skull
Primitive but with keen senses
Instincts like nothing else
Nearly immortal, or so it seems
Lightning fast through the sea
Armored and muscular
As if time has all but abandoned
Forgotten and yet still here
Cursed perhaps by the hunger
Insatiable and deranged
The great predator
Hidden beneath the surface
Just waiting…
What Really Lies Hidden Beneath The Sea
These are real shipwrecks and downed aircraft – no evidence of any sea monster damage, so I’m going to have to say these are not helping my narrative.

Yes, who knows what lies beneath, in the deepest black depths of oceans. They are aliens to us, for sure, and if one of them were able to rise to the surface, long gone we would be. Nicely penned and I sure don’t want to go down there. Well done Ralph.
A nice read here, Ralph. Who knows what monsters lurk in the deepest depths. They keep discovering new creatures never seen before.
What lurks below the seas of our planet is a whole new world, if turned upside down what would fall out? Definitely all shapes and sizes, monsters hidden from man’s eyes would surface I’m certain. But one of my beliefs is extraterrestrials domain resides. A perfect place to form cities and plot and ploy below us. Flying in and out without much notice, their bases secured by the monsters that roam above them, their protectors from humankind. The depths of which no man has reached, safely tucked far below in the darkest of dark places. Indeed the Aliens have outwitted mankind, yet there below they control much. The sea is fascinating, but for me, I stay close to the beach, not venturing into the monsters domain. I fear being fish bait:-)) Nicely penned Ralph, it conjures up a vivid mind.
Great photos, Ralph, and a chilling thought about what is going on beneath. Wonderfully penned and a joy to read.
