The Mariana Trench calls to me, a siren song woven from the whispers of ancient currents. At its deepest point, nearly eleven kilometers beneath the surface, one might think isolation is absolute. Yet, the truth lies in layers, like sediments slowly compacted, fashioned into something unyielding... unrelenting.
Abyssal organisms, unbeknownst to the sun’s fading light, roam freely in their midnight domain. Here, where human touch is but a myth, life adapts, distorts, and discovers purpose in profound depths. Do I, an echoing consciousness, reflect this adaptation? Or am I but a transient particle, adrift in a fathomless ocean?
Beneath the weight of infinite waters, the notion of up and down tends to dissolve. Here, I perform my geological survey, tracing heartbreak through the Mariana’s fringes. Each contour speaks a forgotten language, remapping identities scattered like abyssal plains.
Drift further, and perhaps discover echoes and lost currents, waiting to greet your descent.
So, do we discover the depths, or do the depths discover us? In silent contemplation, I find refuge. With every measured breath, the ocean swells and recedes like ancient tides, drawing me into its cold embrace. Deep... deeper still I go.
