Beyond the maps,
Where legends dwell,
I ventured into the unknown.
With nothing but my wits about me
discovering worlds untouched by human hands.
Animals that had been lost to time.
Plants that grow under mysterious circumstances.
All because they had not been affected by people.
Traveling through the depths
to see what might lie beneath the surface.
My eyes, the only pair to witness
the majesty of it all.
For who would believe what I had seen
on my solo adventure through Earth?
Who would believe that there are entire ecosystems
prospering without the help
or harm
of humanity to guide them, to destroy them?
No one with me to witness the sights, smells, and sounds
of such a magical place.
