The Known Five Percent

There is no light that can penetrate the deepest caverns of the ocean.
Only bioluminesence can pierce the velvety darkness.
How beautiful and terrible it must be to dwell in the obsidian depths.
How it must be to live with no sight or sense of direction.
How long can one stand the solitude and loneliness?
How are the creatures able to stand the lurking and constant chill?
Does one even notice these things?
Or are all the creatures here used to this mysterious and hidden world?
It has no ruler. No King of this realm.
The law of the creatures is unstructured and chaotic.
Espionage is a friend to many.
Secrecy is a must to live in the eternal night of the ocean.
To see day would be blinding. To rise above would crush you.
It must be a sad existance to know nothing of the beauty the sea has to offer.
Never to see the vibrant corals, the invigerating oceanic plant life.
Life in the deeo can only be seen as a dull, lackluster life.
Or is it?
We only make the assumptions based on what we have seen.
But what have we seen? Only five percent of these bottom dwellers existance.
Maybe there is a hidden world beyond the charcoal veil.
One where the darkness is washed away by the light?
One where bioluminesence is so pure and bright.
Can these unexplored creatures and life see as clear as daylight?
Or is this just the wishful thinking of the crazed explorer?
Is there a hidden Eden down here? A secret treasure burried by time?
Is there another dimension?
One where long lost creatures are still in existance?
But how could we ever know unless we delve deeper.
Is it that we are too afraid of what we may discover?
We only know the secrets that our oceans have to offer, by revelation through time.
It is too massive and protected for us to know more.
The creatures who inhabit the deep have a security system far more advanced than our own.
How should we ever hope to gobble up all the knowledge the abyss has to offer, when we can't even fathom what it could hold?
Only time can tell. So we will wait.
