Too Soon the Bud Opens

                              Too Soon the Bud Opens

Dr Abe V Rotor

"Art, art, whatever way defined,

the subject on the wall,

or dripping on the floor,

art, art you aren't hard to find

after all. " - avr

                       Painting in acrylic (12" x 17")

You come in springtime and autumn, 

    too eager a bud  ahead of your time; 

what promise of life awaits tomorrow

    from where you've broken through?

Whichever path you take from now,

    you'll miss the adventure of youth 

in summer, and stillness of winter,

    Oh, how could you live to the full?  

"For having lost but once your prime,

    you'll always tarry," so says a poet;

"It's now or never," so sings a bard,    

    and I, I've neither a poem nor a song. ~
