How Deep?

Snowy mountain peaks
White and glimmering
Slowly start to weep at the winters ending
Though what's underneath is just as pretty in sight
I think I'll watch nature weep for just one more night
She is the beauty that Earth's surface shows
Though below in the deep are things no one knows  
It's almost like Earth wanted it to be nearly impossible to know all secrets she holds

The pressure of the ocean and the rivers of magma that flow
Shes untouchable really
A beautiful lie told that she is pure and giving
Though one day she'll explode and destroy all life teeming
Only mere surface encounters
If you go too deeply you won't last hours

It truly seems crazy that we know more about Outterspace than the ocean
Proving how hard Earth is to reach and deadly when opened
Earth is fragmented and broken
The water the bandage that sheilds her wounds but you'll never know how deep they go
What monsters lie beneath to an humans woe?
She cracks along her seems as she shifts with every change
Reminding those on the surface that she holds their weight as on Her surface she starts to deteriorate
It almost makes you wonder if we deserve our fate
For Earth does not discriminate
She is as forgiving as she is not
She earned her place in the perfect spot in Starlight
That gave her the possibility to provide us all with life
Chosen by destiny to hurl through space to provide life and eventually take it away
