Oh ye Tunnels, my beloved home.

Underground world, the mischievous seek.

Hidden from view, enter my child.

The bait is taken, almost too easy.

Feel the heat, the steam is alive.

A simple riddle, to keep you amused?

Why the sand? Maybe to mask, or to deceive.

Entry, exit, to a deeper kingdom.

A solitary throne, for the weary master.

Mystery revealed, life courses altered.
