Stardust

Silver and Gold

The entrance glowed

With it own inner light

Was I really

Ment to do this?

-

In my hand,

The rock I held

Glowed brightly

Like a sun.

-

The sword was growing hot

Was that a good sign?

The caverns lead downwards

Sloping and twisting.

-

A small trickle of water

A little spot of light

As I traveled on

In the dark.

-

And soon the water

Widened to a stream

And then a river

Rushing through the cave.

-

Then it pooled

Into a magnificent lake

And though their was no visible light

The water itself seemed to glow.

-

The walls were bright 

With their own inner light.

And here, I felt at peace

I felt true. Complete.

-

A small boat sat on the shore

Made of white bone.

I stepped inside

And it began to move.

-

The glowing waters 

Shimmered in the light

No creature seemed to live here

This place was empty.

-

The boat kept moving

Across the lake
