Cave of Wonders
Standing on the cliff side,
Looking down into the waves,
Mesmerized by ebb and flow,
I spy a secluded cave.
I wander along the shoreline,
See the entrance hidden well,
Was it treasure held inside,
Or perhaps the gates of hell.
I stepped into the entrance,
Heard the crashing of the waves,
Echoing through the vastness,
Of this strange and eerie cave.
This place, expected to be dark
Was lit by mystic light.
Shadows danced on cold stone walls,
Beckoned to my sight.
The cavernous room beheld within,
Filled mind with awe and wonder.
In the centre burned a fire of blue,
Its flames they roared with thunder.
Edged closer to this wondrous sight
I should have felt its heat.
This fire burned with ice cold flames
That reached out, my hand to meet.
Spiraling from its centre
Rose a fountain crystal clear
The cascading water whispered
I moved closer, so I could hear.
I took one step, then I took two,
Now stood by fire side
The flames reached out and pulled me in
And held me there inside
The cold flames danced upon my skin,
I felt no fear at all.
The whispered words now clear to me,
I?d answered to their call.
An ancient race had summoned this,
To cleanse the heart and soul.
I stepped from flame, renewed, reborn,
From this time on made whole.
I left the cave as daylight dawned,
And walked along the beach.
And marvelled at the rising Sun,
And turned to see its shadow reach
The cave that brought me life anew,
That gave my heart new song.
Then frozen to the spot was I,
To see, the cave, had gone..
