Seaweed Stained Glass

Painting and Verse by Abe V Rotor

Glass painting, AVR c. 2005

Plants are ascendant, tropism they call,

as they reach for the sun,

whether on the sea floor or on land,

else all life will be gone;

and as they grow they dance around,

a language beyond man;

and dress in kaleidoscope by season,

living a life of fun.

Wonder if man is ascendant as well,

cowering from the sun,

searching a heaven under a ceiling,

in the middle of town;

couldn’t he see through a stained glass

window the living bond,

beyond his faith in saints and angels,

a seaweed’s simple crown? ~
