Limestone World

gently
drop by drop
rain bore a pathway
to your core
to the intimate atriums
of your limestone heart
millennia only added beauty
carving
sculpting
coloring
with time and clay
with moss and salt
a whole world inside you
where whites are blacks
and life can't see

Day 24

The Cavernas del Río Camuy is the third largest cave network on the planet, and the largest in the Western Hemisphere. The Río Camuy (Camuy River) shaped the stalactites, stalagmites and sinkholes when coursing through the area more than a million years ago.
