Foreign Exploration
      I find myself within the exotic beauty of a foreign land. Exploring 
hills and valleys yet unseen by my eyes. The taste of perspirant salt 
upon the air. Moving southward there is dew on the coarse grass here.  I
 push through the damp grass to a cavern.  The musk of the cavern fills 
my nostrils.  I feel the moisture that covers the walls and bring my 
fingers to my lips and taste the sweet liquid of it's mysteries. Anxiety
 fills my body as I push deeper within searching for the treasure I know
 lies here.  I am either getting larger or the cave smaller for now I 
fill it completely. I force myself ever deeper, harder I push into 
it.  Then the walls begin to shake and contract around me.  If I am 
trapped here  I will die joyful, but I find myself being expelled from 
this dark enigma. Unable to prevent my scream of delight my body pulses 
with joy and I collapse with exhaustion, tears of joy stream down my 
exultant face.
