Before the Flame

Early man without fire

Before the Flame

The night was a child with a darkness unknown to itself.
When the search for light drew near,
No one knew what to call it.
The darken caves seem to express their desire,
"My child is sick yet I cannot see him".
"I feel her loves but cannot see her eyes".
"Where is the word for our need"?
"Where is something that we might see in the darkness?

I'm willing to bet they discovered it randomly.

i started thinking of that movie, "Quest for Fire"--

i like this, how they knew they were missing something, needing something, but had yet to discover exactly what that was....sort of like we are sometimes when our mind is in darkness, we wonder what it is that can give us the light to figure things out...but we just haven't discovered what it is we need to know, to discover...that fire that can light our way.

Thanks for the visit! I wondered what early life was like with many inconveniences.
