Nature Verses 1
"Beauty builds upon beauty, ad infinitum."
Dr Abe V Rotor
Birds roosting AVR 2015
1. Ivy, ivy on the wall,
Creeping shy and small;
Spread your arms to hide
My dark and ugly side.
2. How can the sun reach the hadal depth,
Where the world is cold, where love is dearth?
Hasn't someone a bit of sun long kept?
Come, come and save the hearth.
3. Impossible to the old,
Im-possible to the bold;
Retire for the night,
Re-tire for the might.
4. Truth hidden when not needed
May breed lies unheeded;
And wrong a mob embraces
Is like a basket full of roses.
5. Make believe growth and prosperity;
A vessel sounds louder when empty.
6. Only good wine grows mellow with age;
So does a good man grow into a sage.
7. But children are children,
Knowing not a mob or crowd;
Curiosity, danger and dream
Lie behind a thin shroud.
8. Up in the sky a pattern most queer,
Stars tell of the destiny of men;
Wouldn’t a genius from slumber stir,
Or a faithful pray beyond Amen?
9. A vessel holds water to the brim,
Unless it bears a crack at its rim;
As men wish power in their dream
Even if they have lost their steam.
10. Beauty builds upon beauty,
Ad infinitum to eternity. ~
