Reflections Before a Make Believe Scenario

Reflections Before a Make Believe Scenario 

Dr Abe V Rotor

Impressionism is alive -- the remnants of vision in the mind;

art movement, gateway to modern art - archive in the future,

when Nature shall have met its doom from the hands of man,  

landscapes turning into wastelands, the good life's no more. 

Make haste before it's  gone - the earth green and pristine;

Wonder if life's as beautiful with the demise of Nature.

.

False comfort before a mural, 
archive of Nature in the future,
a warning to natural history,
when life had been so happy. 

When wildlife's no longer wild,

it's either tamed or gone.

Oh, how we wish our hands are always clean, 

with water plentiful and pure, as it had been.

Oh, heart on the wall

do you still feel, 

do you still the throb 

the throb of love?

Ivy, ivy on the wall

don't hide a living heart.

Make believe prey - in real life or simile,

don't fall victim, always be wary,

 in the swamp, on the street, in the hall;

this reptile is older than society. 

Take time out, leave everything, 

your desk and papers - be gone;

seek Nature out there waiting,

you're guardian to an orphan,

or the other way around.

Walk with nature to the end of the earth and time,

for everything is possible in the soul, heart and mind.
