Oh! If only man's wisdom can bring back Paradise lost a long time ago.

A Christmas greeting to children all over the world.*

Wall Mural Dr Abe V Rotor 

A wall is empty no more, it dissolves into forest and stream 

running down soft under the feet, spilling onto the street;

where once a city of steel and concrete, of dust and smog   

reigned, where the forces of human frailty and nature meet,

rekindling wonders and adventures of childhood little known

to the city-bred whom the Good Life in disguise would cheat!  

     

The wall is alive in three dimensions in make-believe perspective,

progeny of primary colors - red, blue and yellow, bold and mellow,

azure sky, deep blue-green sea, prism of every dewdrop bead,

sparkle of every star at night, crystalline water Narcissus saw; 

if only walls can speak to mirror human longing of a happy world,

if only man's wisdom can bring back Paradise lost a long time ago! ~
