A little Benthon, at the bottom all alone
It knows no dawn, never knew there is one
Wondered! why was it so dark? ‘like the dead, darn!’
Silhouette at a span, it jumped to attention
Bright and like a thorn, grew a tiny little line
Calm, serene in motion, the thread moved towards the benthon
Hid under the floor of ocean, it gaped the glow that passed on
‘Is it real or just a notion, for it never happened in an eon’
Went with the current with no élan, ensued the enthused benthon
Following the lifeless one, the benthon’s answer was known
