Nature on the Wall is Alive with Children

 Nature on the Wall is Alive with Children

"If only walls can speak to mirror man's longing of a happy world, if only man's wisdom can bring back Paradise lost 
a long time ago!" - avr 

Wall Mural Complex by Dr Abe V Rotor


A wall is empty no more, it dissolves into forest and stream
running down soft under the feet, spilling onto the street;
where once a city of steel and concrete, of dust and smog
reigned, where the forces of human frailty and nature meet,
rekindling wonders and adventures of childhood little known
to the city-bred whom the Good Life in disguise would cheat!


The wall is alive in three dimensions in make-believe perspective,
progeny of primary colors - red, blue and yellow, bold and mellow,
azure sky, deep blue-green sea, prism of every dewdrop bead,
sparkle of every star at night, crystalline water Narcissus saw;
if only walls can speak to mirror human longing of a happy world,
if only man's wisdom can bring back Paradise lost a long time ago! ~
