A living journey into the caverns of Mammoth Caves, Kentucky. Poetic!

CATHEDRALS OF BEAUTY

Coolness – breath of the earth,

Flowing stone receding from waters,

Brilliant colors mixed in symphony,

Blind fish swimming in darkness,

Holes dropping away forever,

Caverns – some as tiny as bats,

Others – large as towns,

Crystalline stone fingers from floor to summit,

Their twins reaching from ceiling down,

Hues in bright crimson, amarillo, and dark earth ,

With snowy white, ebony, and deep emerald showing nature’s paint,

Eternal black night hiding rapturous beauty,

Our journey here releasing its glory,

Touching this wonder we are for all time wonderfully transformed!
