It belongs to a timeless quest
Without losing its own identity
An ancient mariner and silent witness
To the rise and fall of dinosaurs
In true sense, it’s the Titan of Deep
In sapphire caves where the currents rest.
A relic of old yet remarkably true
Scales like armour of silver and blue
Dwellers of the “Twilight Zone” of ocean
A hollow cord in place of slender spine
With lobed fins swinging like heavy oars
It walks in the deep on the ocean floors.
Believed to appear 400 million years ago
Got extinct alongside dinosaurs 66 million ago
Until a live one found where the shadows lie
Known to human as low energy specialists
The Coelacanth is a lesson for the wise
True strength is the soul that never dies.
