Passing through Portals of Life & Death,
Shadowy openings draw us in —
Where hardened feet touch soft earth,
Along a path to an opaque place,
Occupied by pyramids, zig-zags & souls.
Trails of red paint & blood
Lead to primordial drawings —
History etched on rock walls & ceilings.
Mind-to-hand. Hand-to-stone. Stone-to-eye.
Black horses. Bison. Birds. Bulls.
Signs of times long past:
Circles. Rectangles. Patterns
Meaningful to their creators —
If not to us,
Teasing modern minds with shapes & lines.
