In Peaceful Nonexistence

It sleeps 
Below the Earth 
In a place 
Where light cannot reach 

A place 
Which knows no cold 
Which knows no heat 
Barren and empty 

No strong winds blow 
Nor gentle breezes 
Only stagnant air 
As still as death 

And here it lives 
Unknown to light 
Unknown to Man 
In peaceful nonexistence
