Dark and Dangerous Like a Secret

dark and dangerous like a secret, how deep, how far does the cave go? the melody of running water, shimmering, our helmet light reveals a dangerous cascade, flowing inwards, down a steep rocky chasm, on we go. hidden wonders, they were all secrets. giant selenite crystals, gypsum the worlds biggest, lacelike, translucent. bacteria slime drips then turn upward to join a buddy in pitch blackness, why? where? if you are into earth's deepest dark cave secrets, for their safety, keep them secret unto yourselves. I hold a secret from a dark dangerous place. where, well I can not tell you, its a secret I can show you a picture I took. look, did you see, a gypsum crystal, this tale not fiction, a secret, oh yes!
