:*:* The Hidden Grotto :**: (adult )
The beautiful grotto appeared quite suddenly
By a twisting trail I found it hidden from me
On a camping holiday I travelled through the West
Deep into the emerald womb of the thick forest
At first I heard the faint trickle of the waterfall
The soft rustle of the wild birds stirred the trees tall
A strange mysterious stillness filled the air
As in a private sanctuary forgotten somewhere
Slowly it was manifested before my eyes
I could hardly stifle a surprised cry
Invitingly the sun cast its rays like a spotlight
The most incredible scene unfolded before my sight
Silently I tiptoed closer in reverence
Time held on to its minutes in suspense
My heart was filled with undeniable peace
I slipped off my clothes which was a release
The touch of the water was a caress to my skin
It caused a shiver down my spine in the wind
My nude body was revealed in all sacredness
On the moss covered stone I sat down to rest
I wondered if it was an ancient sacrificial place
Where Aztec kings offered virgins to their god's embrace
I could almost feel the Spirits presence near
I sensed loving fingers playing in my long hair
Lingering for a long time I claimed it as my own
A Spanish queen sat naked on her earthly throne
I never did return to the Forest's secret spot
But in my dreams I often visit quite a lot
