Memories To Save Poem by Sandra Finch

Feelings of wonder fill my mind
As we enter the darkness,
Leaving the light behind.
Cool and Moist,
The air gives a chill,
Everything here is dark and still.

Wondrous formations
Form like a wall, etching
Tunnels and shadows
Resembling long halls
A dark, bottomless lake
Cut out of the earth,
Reminds me of this
Great Planet's birth.

Formations of rock
Millions of years old,
Made of droplets of water
That feel really cold.
As you leave the darkness,
Feeling tired and beat,
The sun is shining brightly
You can feel the heat.

You'd like to return to
The cool dark cave,
Where time stops.
Memories to save.
