Cave Art #1

I'm gazing at some ancient cave-art    
marveling that folk, so long ago,    
thought fit to record their small part    
in their own modern world, although,    
    
they didn't know it would vanish    
but they knew they were doomed to die,    
and, perhaps, sought to banish    
their fear with their art, like you and I,    
     
who try to live beyond our death    
by scribbling in our own little caves,    
trying to live beyond our last breaths    
like those ancient, artistic braves?
