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?
