Below is a photograph
Of the oldest intentional drawing or scratch
Made by a human
Two hundred thousand plus
Years ago
And I wonder, was it art
A message to others
Or a symbol of religious significance?
I will most likely
Never know what it is
Or who or what created it
Since it is older than
Modern humans
Are thought to be
And we only started our artwork
Fifty some odd thousand years ago.
To me the artist screams
I was here, I was here
And it gives me comfort
That one artist
Can have such a voice
To span such space and time
One person can make a difference
Even though we know not what they say
I know where my art skills come from 🙂
