prehistoric cave paintings
drawn painted etched into walls
flicker alive in candlelight fascinates
living hands offer time capsules
pictures reach out across time space
life rituals spectacular formations
all dwell sacred within darkness caves
who moves points enters time locks?
all art is accorded value by viewer eye
by hearing ear beating heart cut blood tie
hook vibrations value is where passions lie
heart history market speculation values
accorded to the value of past present names
civilizations society bestows prestige images
what art lies lives in caves in tombs?
sun sets on horizons passing timeless?
stars pass constellations change patterns?
rock art created forgotten into time mists?
dust being created hand fed passage images?
dust motes movement swayed time unveils?
nothing spoken nothing lost passion translates?
beating blood beating mind drum beats meanings?
