Return to Lascaux
As I stand before
The brilliantly-crafted
Animal print,
My mind is instantly
Transported back
More than seventeen
Thousand years
To Lascaux
In southwestern France
Where the ancients
Celebrated animals
In cave paintings,
Which ever serve
To remind us of
The unifying
Power of art.

Monoprint by Roberta Laine
For all who recognize
Life without Art
Is bare existence
