Painting through the ages

Long ago in a cave so deep

They drew with fire and rocks in sleep

Buffalos danced in lines of red

A world of stories where colors led

On pyramids in desert gold

They painted gods and tales of old

With lotus lines and royal face

Art was sacred full of grace

In temples high with marble bright

They shaped the world with balanced light

They painted myths and strong brave men

Art found harmony back then

Darkened halls with shining light

Painted saints in golden night

Stories told in every frame

To teach and guide in holy name

Then came colors bold and wide

Da Vinci’s dreams and Mona’s pride

Perspective rose and shadows played

A brand new world the brush portrayed

A garden breeze a dancing hue

Quick little strokes and skies of blue

They painted light not things exact

A feeling soft a heart intact

Now shapes are wild and thoughts are free

A yellow square a flying tree

From dreams to dots and melting clocks

Art broke the rules and shook the box

Now here we are it’s me and you

With paint and brush we journey through

Each color sings each stroke is true

The world needs artists just like you
