Cavern Glows
Within the rocks of the barren hillside
a lustre beckons the bold climber
into the drawing cavern, alight
with the pearl sheen light, its walls
glowing with the rooted beauty
of biting flings of star sparkle.
A hundred thousand ridges, smooth
glass silk under fingertips, moving
closer, closer to the enamel pull.

Is like your imagination pours situations , landscapes, and mysterious scenarios on a keyboard for our entertainment and at the same time stimulating our creativity. (At least in my case)
Perfection I must say !!

Aha, Jake is onto something... Halfway to a VERY dark scene.
Any curious poets, PM me for the answer, lol.

Oops, Dark Enchantress, your guess missed the mark, lol. Although you are right, dental work is painful...

This one took me straight to the bottom of the sea, I thought of oysters in their shells, the pale light shone from above the water....
Magical!

Mourganna, you know we share the love of the sea, but that's not my thinking here... Although I did say "pearl sheen"... Who knows, maybe you're right.
Thank you for seeing the magic.

A climb. A crawl. A cavity. There is a mystery here that I have not discerned, but I am loving your poetic puzzles. I keep coming back to this...& I will come back to it again. Probably the main reason I am such a big fan of cryptic writing...it lends itself to multiple reads. Thank you for the challenging work. There is an answer here that is hovering just beyond my sight. Kind of like seeing a familiar face that you know you know, but you just cannot place the name...

So pleased you would want to re-visit the scene! Thank you.

Re. Cavern Glows
Just going to take a first time stab at anything at all like this. I can only see where your choice of words in that order took a mind like mine...
So, I just saw my old rock climber buddy from Austin, TX....
On one of his more magical rock climbs.
Only he came across a beautiful cave on his way up an almost flat rock mission. The cave was dark the pearl was the early Amazing here glow, of that specific nights, Moon.
It was a long difficult first time in these conditions climb. And, had taken longer then he'd expected. So the cave a blessing and the sparkles were reflecting the side of this Rocks moon,
A magic effect was the quartz stone naturally tiled the enterior of this cave where hes decided to set up camp for the night....
Well? That's where I went. Anyone else?
