Poem and Painting by Dr. Abe V. RotorYou are an artist,
you paint and mould life at its barestOn weathered rocks and ancient trunks,
or some forgotten crest and cliff,
that through seasons howl or sleep,
or cry like a beagle, or the chameleon
that mimics sunrise a
nd sunset
with colors divine.Bless you, pioneer of protolife,Pathfinder of the bryophyte and the vine,Precursor of forest primeval,
home of the eagle and fireflies,Probing what good is rock if it loses
the essence where life rises.
