Dark Tunnel

See the tiny pinprick light

That in the distance glows, it

Grows as I move closer through

This dark and dreary hole.

 

I would cash in favors for

A flashlight or a lantern.

Man was never meant for the

Existence of a mole.

 

I had both eyes open when I

Waltzed into this wasteland,

Welcoming the challenge of

A bold spelunker’s quest.

 

But here the night is smothering,

Leading me to ponder that

When next I need a challenge

I’ll just smash a hornet’s nest.

 

Find a rope to lead me

Out of this dark tunnel maze,

Ease the claustrophobic grasp and

Put my soul at rest.
