Deep in her bowels! Oh Mother Earth!
Where darkness sojourns, dark demons lurk,
Wicked trolls dance, full of sparkle & mirth,
As hot springs boil, bubble and perk.

Those miracles of nature,
Caves! Light pixels deplore!
That cavernous stature,
Where spelunkers explore!

Winding down in tight tunnels,
Grooving the earth,
Ending in Funnels,
Constricting one's girth.

Subterranean castles,
Mixed underground turf,
Oft dressed in silk tassels,
Sometimes carved by sea surf.

Jeweled channels, adorned mystic features,
Hidden from view, long underground burrows,
Where bats & snakes, a myriad of creatures,
Live secret lives, in deep secret furrows.

Blind fish and blind men,
Swim in the dark,
Caves, like the Fen,
Conjure myth with their mark.

Spelunkers rejoice!
Caves! Round the world!
Cody Caves have their voice!
Deep mysteries unfurled!

Oh deep space! Saturn's rings!

Churn like the deep sea,

Creation's remote hidden things,
Void of life forms like we.
