A Smile in the Cave
...in the fullness of time...
A Smile in the Cave
All part and parcel it was
The way of life in the cave
As is always acceptance
What is laid down before you
You adapt improve refine
Make yourself happy
Out of the situation
Put a smile on your face
Look outside ponder
The sky is wide sun is up
Take a break from hunting
From gathering and the wild
Dip your hand in a pile
Of ochre do some “art” work
Feel uplifting you smile
You look forward doing it again
You muse express a yearning
To share your feelings do some form
Of an unspoken poetic expression
A gentle kiss to your muse’s cheek
...a happy moment in the cave...
Here we are out in the open
A different kind of cave we’re in
Entirely new sets of tools we have
To hunt and to gather
The fruits of their surviving skills
Cave dwellers in acceptance
Engaging the moment eons ago
A gift to us the smile in the cave
