The Spelunker

Crawling into caverns and dark places
at home in the tunnels without many spaces.
Seeking to explore what has never been seen
over rocks and boulders and in between.
As we stumble upon a cavernous room
the starlight above brightens the gloom.

The rarity of such a find
fills you with wonder and opens your mind.

Between the cliffs of the cavern above
is a rift to the universe sparkling with love.
The clarity of the sight astounds
shining ever brighter from underground.
How can you choose on which star to wish
they are all magnified as if on a Petri dish.

The rarity of such a find
Fills you with wonder and opens your mind.

Never imagining such a place could exist
wishing upon a star, blown with a kiss.
All of this glory in an open vein
carved by the wind and washed open with rain.
Some day we know we will return
to watch the stars light this place as they burn.

The rarity of such a find
fills you with wonder and opens your mind.
