Art Evolution with Nature: Children's Field Trip with Nature on the Wall

Art Evolution with Nature

Children's Field Trip 

with Nature on the Wall

 Living with Nature Center 

"Art is the greatest human expression of beauty, thoughts, feelings 

and spirituality that connect man and his Creator." avr

Wall murals painted by Dr Abe V Rotor

Stopping by a mural of nature,

they sought in its shadow relief 

in make-believe adventure,

in imagery passing and brief.

 

Faithful to the sense of vision and imagination,

these murals are alive with happy children.

Wonder how long they last as the kids grow up,

as brightness and colors fade 'til the day is done,

but the lesson is ne'er lost with the sinking sun.

"One for all, and all for one, " cried the musketeers

of Alexandre Dumas classic novel;

who's the enemy today, who are the brave knights?

if ever the cry's still heard clear as a bell.

The bell that tolls for the dead in the battlefield,

victims of calamities and injustice;

now a chime in the once beautiful landscape.

dirge for a natural world we will all miss.

A natural world reminiscent in murals

on the wall asking how long they shall last;

like a puzzle of the mirror on the wall,

and the bell for whom it tolls for none but us.

Walking home from school is joy,

passing through nature on the wall.

Take a break, boys.

enough for cellphones,

loafing and toys. 

 

A rendezvous by a spring,

what more can summer bring?

Ambiance of nature at home,

on a mural from floor to wall,

at low tide on the seashore 

with company and nothing more.
