In Cat Cave Poem by Adrian Flett
In Cat Cave
Climbing out of Cat Cave,
the others far ahead,
I felt the sense
the intense presence,
ever with me now
as vital thought stemming from
paintings just seen,
in Cat Cave.
The artist, the one
who painted such true depictions of life
-wild all about him-
walked this grassland
gathered his paints,
made his brushes searched for
and found canvas,
in Cat Cave.
No scope for sketching
for margin of error
as he begins to portray
trance induced images,
drawn by his power of perception
and prior execution
in his mind,
in Cat Cave.
The light fades to
a mellow pink on dry grass
but his artistry evident to all,
lifts him free of time and culture
a statement of sheer creativity
locked forever in my mind
though left behind to fade,
in Cat Cave.
