"Cave Unlocked"

"Cave Unlocked"

The stillness of the water
Captivates my peace of mind
And all the light that dances above
Poses like a crystal shrine.

The only sounds that echo
Are the breezes and the waves.
And all of life has disappeared
But the creatures of the cave.

My head pokes in through the dark
And brings new views to unfold.
My eyes take time and then adjust
To see a land: great and old.

But I cannot stay or explore
The shining walls or murky floors.
Instead I must turn back to walk,

And leave, for now, this cave unlocked.
