Spelunking 2

upon entering
the cave space
the air became
strangely warmer
heavy wetness
created a single
stalactite
thickly dripping
down naturally

the deeper 
i sunk 
it seemed
dank
and
darker
with only 
a head 
lamp

the room
dampened
and divided
i decided
just then
a trembling
tremor
turned
me

around
but knew
i would come
back 
again
and
again
and
again

I admire your courage ... I am claustrophobic, I would never enter a cave. I'm afraid of cave and height ... but I'm not afraid of water ... river or sea.   Salute Jeff alkas

I am not happy about swimming in the ocean; without my glasses I am blind. I feel very uncomfortable not knowing what's swimming around me. But I'm sure you would enter the cave of this poem Alkas jajaja Thanks.
