There Is Nothing New Under the Sun

All creative thought’s start with our surroundings
From the trees, birds and water even the ground we walk on
Each and everything mankind has created
Has come from the earth itself

The ink we write with paint we paint with
The buildings we build and the cars we drive
The houses we live in and the furniture we sit on
The pills we take and ships that we build

All came from the earth giving us our creativity
Our artistic abilities we each have are a gift
Some are greater then others but we all have it
Whatever is crated in our minds is a recreation

Paintings are created from what has been seen
Sculptures are created from what has been seen
Poetry has been created from what we have seen and done
Original creations comes from the combining of other creations

Art is all around us and we recreate it individually
We look at someones paintings in awe thinking
What a talented person forgetting that painting
Of that snow seen in the mountings was created by God first

We have taken the paint and canvas that we have created
And recreated that mountain snow seen we had in our mind
We create a statue of a man on a horse and look at it in awe
But when we see a man riding a horse we do not think twice

Man saw birds fly so they created the airplane
Man created the wheel most likely from a rock that rolled
Man created fire most likely from lighting hitting a tree
All of mans creativity has come from the earth

You have made a valid point. We sometimes forget to stand back and say "WOW!" when we see the creations of He who gave us are ability to create.
