Landscapes to the Young Mind

"To the artist, 
the creative mind 
makes the sea live or die,
real or imaginary; 
she is the master."
   
Paintings by Anna Christina R Rotor in the Grade School 
Flowers are red and yellow, 
trees are green, sky is blue;
true colors of pure thoughts,
colors of innocence, too.
Nature's curtain, let me count your ways: 

     waterfall of foaming white
     down a cliff of verdant green;

     stream in crystal shade and hue
    among rocks and trees;  

    sky red and gray at sunset, 
    yellow and orange at sunrise;

    black and gray before a storm,  
    dull and gray as rains pour;
    
   lightning in the darkness of night,
   pictures the world at rest;

   watershed, nature's wall of trees,
   life of lakes, mirror of the sky.

  the aurora - borealis in the north
  australis in the southern realm;

Nature's curtain, I haven't painted you enough.   
        ; 
To the young, the sea plays among the rocks and children,
joyous in their games  and laughter;
To the grownups, it's tidal wave spawning on the shore,
in fear, warn of a coming disaster.   
To the artist, the creative mind makes the sea live or die,


real or imaginary, she is the master. ~
