The Descent
The Descent
Nature lovers enthralled by forest’s pine green canopies
Leading headway onto hallowed
Golden earthen pathways to the ancient underground playground
The hikers create a silver echo of their own (Hello, hello)
They tread carefully, dropping down
One by one, each party fastened to the other
Reliantly dropping altitude together
Lowering themselves into the tumultuous grey black void
Nearing the enticing smell of fresh white rain
Caught by gargantuan cavernous red-veined leaves
Vermilion chameleons’ frolic splashing in delightful refreshment
On a spiraling ledge on the side of the divine hole
A broader plateau oozing with a strange moldy scent
Lends itself for the hikers to hydrate and rest
As they enjoy the fabled delicacy of the blue black berries
Bursting with the juicy rainbow of sweetness that had sustained prior Adventure seekers
At last, their hundreds of feet downward trek
Has brought them to the hidden nook they had sought and few have accessed
Radiant teal moss covered the open space completely
Like a luxurious royal wall to wall cushy rumpus room carpet
Created by the obstruction of the fiery, orange, yellow, red, power of sunlight
Oh Wondrous nature!
