Waterfall Forever 2

Dr Abe V Rotor 

Mural in acrylic, AVR 2009

Imagery in the inner eye, old yet new,
of boyhood in frolic and laughter;
a waterfall forever flowing 
down the river even in summer.

Youth, be not proud, the old often warned,
for having lost but once your prime,
the sun sets earlier each day and hour, 
and the once sweet bell no longer a chime.

And the hammock lulls you not to dream 
but sleep while the world goes 'round,
and gaining consciousness once again, 
one step nearer to God you're bound. 

Not when the waterfall is alive and strong,
not when the boy in you calls every day 
among other urchins seeking adventure.


Youth be not proud, you seem to say. ~
