The Power of Imagination in Painting the Deep

              The Power of Imagination in Painting the Deep

Paintings by Dr Abe V Rotor

Imagination is more powerful than reason:

you can't go down and paint the scene;

so I took my brush and closed my eyes,

there in my mind grew a large screen. 

Imagination builds our world and space, 

the unseen, or just a passing of time,

take the fish in schools or in migration, 

these are all beyond the mind.

In the deep, pitch black, and endless,

I brought in the sun and formed a vision 

of life I knew so little with those real; 

indeed, the power of imagination. ~
