We walked
Past slate
And through a gate
And some woods
Around a corner
And a fear
Surrounded me
To see
A cave
So dark
So bleak
And water
Dripping slowly
My head did bow
As I entered
The dark Dismal enclosure
And my heart
Raced
With sheer fear
Of danger
But the light soon shone
In a distance
I wanted
To run
An opening
Of beauty
Within a cavern
Of such age
A wonder
In sight
Viewing the height of
An amazing rock
formation
That left
Me in ore
A destination
I wouldn’t
Have seen
If my fear had
Redeemed
