Beauty Beneath

I am a little apprehensive as I walk down the path and enter the shadowy opening into the earth. As the light dims, the shapes around me become vague and indistinct and the air is still and musky. Eventually blackness is all around, giving me the feeling of being all alone in the darkness of night. The space is immense, and sunless. As I light my torch a wonderland appears around me; giant glistening sentinels standing tall, delicate straws hanging from the ceiling, curtains undulating above, the sound of dripping water, and beautiful color. This magnificent cave, always hidden in the dark of night, is waiting for you to explore.
