"What's essential can't be seen by the eye Like the faith of Keller and Captain Bligh."

Dr Abe V Rotor

Helen Keller*

1. In seeing our past we find little to share,
If the past is the present we're living in.

2. In abstract art you lose reality;
How then can I paint truth and beauty?

3. Brick wall, brick roof, brick stair,
Glisten in the rain, dull in summer air.

4.What's essential can't be seen by the eye
Like the faith of Keller and Captain Bligh.

5. Similar is rainbow and moth in flight
When you see them against the light.

William Bligh**

6. From respite in summer fallow,
The fields start a season anew.

7. From green to gold the grains become
As they store the power of the sun.

8. Not all sand dunes for sure
Ends up on empty shore.

9. One little smoke tells the difference,
Like a faint pulse is life's reference.

10. It's collective memory that I'm a part
To write my life's story when I depart.
