Wall mural and Poem by Dr Abe V Rotor
Waterfalls wall mural at author's residence, San Vicente, Ilocos Sur
Hiss, tumble, and roar;
catch the cloud into rain,
mist and fog in your favor
for mystery to reign.
Your beginning and end
make a long, long story;
yonder, around the bend,
down below you're free,
meandering to the sea,
across farm and pasture,
along dike and levee,
greeting every creature.
I followed you long ago,
but lost along the way
to where I didn't know,
in abandon and gay
of the real meaning of life -
lesson you teach human
to go on, ease or strife,
'til the last drop is gone.
Hiss, tumble, and roar;
Your beginning and end
make a long, long story;
yonder, around the bend,
down below you're free,
meandering to the sea,
across farm and pasture,
along dike and levee,
greeting every creature.
I followed you long ago,
but lost along the way
to where I didn't know,
in abandon and gay
of the real meaning of life -
lesson you teach human
to go on, ease or strife,
'til the last drop is gone.
Hiss, tumble, and roar;
catch the cloud into rain,
mist and fog in your favor
for mystery to reign.

in a make-believe pose before the wall mural.
