A Naturalist's World in Paintings

 A Naturalist's World in Paintings

               Paintings and Verses by Dr Abe V Rotor


Drynaria Fern

Two kinds of leaves have you to catch the sun,
      rain and organic matter;
When in summer time, one dies into cap and pan
      to give life to the other.

    Vortex

Beware of the beautiful with fangs of fire;
like the eye of a storm and a woman's ire ~


A Parthenon of Trees, Temple of Nature

The Parthenon of Greece is but an imitation,
false pride of claiming God's Creation.


Ripples of Rainbow

Clear as the rainbow in the sky,
its image on the pond a far cry.


Transition of Life

Land dies into a pond, pond into land,
     in seres, one after another;
living mass into organic matter over time.
     death to living in this order.


Milton's Query

If Paradise was lost because of man's disobedience,
was it regained in his absence? 

Lahar Flow

Fiery breathe of the angry earth
far from the comfort by the hearth,
wait 'til it settles down with time
to  become tame and sublime.

   Spring on the meadow
 
Mist into dewdrops like beads of pearl, 
cling on grass before the sun is up, 
else vanish in the air and lost forever,
come and drink from my little cup. ~


Secret of the heart

Hidden, the heart throbs in deep silence,
two nails imbedded, unseen in pretense
of living, loving, caring, the highest art,
filling the five chambers of the heart. ~
