Searching the Caverns.

The caverns were vast beyond measure.

A darkness covered the jagged rocks.

The cave echoed; My steps sound like knocks.

I anticipated great treasure.


The tunnel ran on, I'm not so sure.

I had not seen the wooden boxes.

No sign of shiny, engraven locks.

The caverns hold no wealth of pleasure.


At last, my journey came to an end.

There was no gold and silver to find.

Just a wall of rugged and black stones. 


I sat down to let my spirit mend.

I closed my eyes and emptied my mind.

I felt the peace fill all my bones.
