Cave Art

Where is the boundary
between spirit and stone,
that place where myth is born
and marries meaning
to the beauty and brutality 
of form. Is it only our imagining
that imbues things 
with the glow of transcendence,
anoints the ordinary 
to elevate atoms to the status
of the sublime;
is there only human art to warm
the cold of our lonely caves,
to redeem us from time.

Hi Paul, if it's only our minds that are capable of imbuing things, we've no need for our senses. Art exits in many inhuman forms, at least to my willingness to accept it. I've had the flu, so sorry for falling behind in commenting.
