The Cavemine

An expanse of plain solid rock
Stretches out endlessly before us,
The prize we seek
Protected dearly by the earth

We venture deeper
Time distorts itself—
How long have we been here?
The cave is playing tricks

Then it happens—
A glint, a flash, a shy spotlight on
The long-developed fruits of
Earth's aeons of labor.
