Take the Lighter - and Brighter - Side of Life with Nature

  Take the Lighter - and Brighter - Side of Life with Nature 

Dr Abe V Rotor

   

Boyhood is forever, Living with Nature Home Museum

Boyhood is forever. You'll never get lost

towards sunset, in life's golden age,

with sweet memory, your kindest host.

Turn back into the past, page by page

of your diary of joy and adventure to boost

your journey in life like a true sage.

      

A Child Wonders Across the Sea, floor-to-wall-to ceiling

mural, Living with Nature Art Gallery AVR

Imagination is more important than reason

to a child wondering through time and space;

whereas, we grownups, in our lifetime

are spectators, wanting of will and praise.

Hug-a-Tree,  wall mural by the author, LWN Art Gallery

Yes, the tree can feel,

it can hear and talk.

Shh... listen to its whisper,

with the passing breeze,

birds in their nest,

music in peace.

 

Children's Art Workshop, LWN AVR

Take the backseat: mall and cellphone,

     wasteful leisure and time;

welcome: creativity in true expression

     of genius in ones prime.

Fishing by imagination on canvas, LWN 

Make believe scenario,

when action isn't true;

Hurrah! to these happy duo,

and their viewers, too.

Rizal in the Garden, LWN

Join him in exile, now in a garden shrine;

the cause he fought for and stood;

Noli and Fili in action on the grassroots,

rekindled, refreshed, understood.

 

Fruits, Fruits, paintings by the author LWN

Fruits, common subject of still life art,

     of different kinds in season;

faithful to the real thing the artist's aim,

     yet free of his own expression.

Nature on the Wall,  mural by the author, LWN 

  If the mountain is far, far away,

  bring it home on the wall.

Share your adventure and joy,

and Nature's sweet call. 

 

Author's grandchildren Mackie and Markus in a rare 

moment with their Lolo by the sea in their home.

Seashore at home, composite mural by the author, LWN

Seashore in the living room, why not?

Game, workshop, picnic, name it.

Time to relax, reflect, connect, laugh,

     while the world whirls on its orbit. ~
