The Immortals

they swim in the currents of the deep blue sea
with grace that not all could see
never stop to preen on its beauty
they  live devoid of care, grief or glee

silky tendrils glowing softly in the water
liquid flow caressed by the ocean tide
graceful dances on sun kissed wonder
of the sea where mysteries abide

death is not the final destination
for the Turritopsis dohrnii
their immortality is nature's present
for a life without adventurous uncertainty

upon death  they sink onto the bottom
deep in their marine domain
resting in pieces in the depth of gloom
awake and enter life as more of them.
