Spelunking

Such is life in a cave, I guess. The only light is the light I brought in with me. As life goes, it's slowly draining. Once in a while, you can give it a hard whack and it'll flicker. If you turn it off for awhile, it does seem brighter when you turn it on again. But what's the point? The way I found myself in is the only way out. Nice cave, pretty cave. Should I stay until the light is gone? Some find peace in darkness. It's constant, unfading. Just close your eyes. Sometimes I wonder if I explore deep and far enough, will this cave be a tunnel? How exciting would that be? But when I turn off the light, I see nothing. Of course there is always the option of digging. Digging to find another way out. Maybe I'm just stubborn. Maybe it's just time to turn back and start a different adventure. Maybe.
