The serenity of my mind’s eye brings me to the most wondrous place I have ever been. As I step the crevice in the mountainous rock face, it widens, bringing me to a large cavern. I step further into the cavern’s expansive main chamber, I come upon three tunnels…each different and unique in appearance. However, the one that intrigues me the most has a faint glow coming from it. As I step towards the tunnel cautiously, the glow a distinct blue haze. I dare not tarry any longer than necessary, so I pick up my pace to finally come to the end of the long tunnel. My breath catches within my breast as the tunnel opens up into another cavern that seems to go for miles on end. Beneath my feet, I come to realize the feel of something soft yet prickly. I bend down to investigate and to my astonishment find that I am standing on grass. This is no ordinary grass as it is a dark bluish black with a soft faint glow to it. As my eyes adjust further to the new light source, I find that the cavern is filled with plants of the same color and faint glow. All of these plants as far as I can see, are ten times the size as their real life counterparts. My eyes then wander skywards as movement catches my gaze. It is then I notice black vine-like tendrils swaying back and forth within a nonexistent breeze, the very tips of which also glow faintly, brushing up against the plants upon the ground lightly. It’s then that I come to from my venture into the depths of my mind. I sit here not only further at peace with myself, but in awe of the beauty I just witnessed. I also await my next venture within that wondrous world I have discovered.
