Somewhere the Rain Must Fall (Part 2)

Somewhere the Rain Must Fall (Part 2)
Paintings and Verses by Dr Abe V Rotor


"The ultimate test of any civilization 
is not in its inventions and deeds,
but the endurance of Mother Nature 
in keeping up with its unending needs."


"Ephemeral and fleeting are the days of our lives
when we do not watch the sun set and rise."


"Could there be more natural a feeling,
than being part of seasons rolling?
The first leaf, the first rose of summer,
Amihan blowing as the frogs go to slumber -
are but life's best things to offer."


"Love is sweeter after pain,
and perhaps never sweeter again."


"The miracle that unfolds a new leaf
makes it golden, too - even if life is brief."


"One who sees silver linings behind clouds
that are dark and bold,
may not be thinking, at the end of a rainbow,
lies a pot of gold."


"From respite in summer fallow,
the fields start anew."


"Proud is a mountain that is blue
wearing a raincloud hue;
its foothills gleaning green;
bountiful its valley, and serene."


"Hush, hush, sweet nothings, sh...
You are not ignorant, you know
that life is never idle while it exists:
leaves fall, leaves grow, like a system,
from it springs life's perpetual rhythm." 


"What truly gives our world beauty
is our deep feeling of being free." ~
