The Unknown

How much do we really know,
Of worlds above and far below?
What hides in caves far underground?
What lives in worlds yet to be found?

In black depths of the oceans wide,
What monsters lurk? Which creatures hide?
The endless sky we’ve grown to love,
But what really lives in the worlds above?

Secrets lost to times long past,
And the universe is far too vast.
Time devours our history,
And the future’s shrouded in mystery.

What’s been lost? What hides from light?
There’s a mystery for every star at night.
The legends we seek we’ll never find,
As they only exist inside our mind.
