It's Harvest Time!

It's Harvest Time!

Dr Abe V Rotor

Painting and Verse by Abe V Rotor

Midas touches all – from the grains to the sun sinking,

And the grains become beads of jewels, heavy, gleaming,

In October amihan where children with kites meet,

Bringing all life forms together in retreat.

Music - the rustling of the grains and the singing

Of the harvesters and flocks of maya birds flying,

While haystacks, like giant mushrooms, grow big and tall,

Living symbols of the Good Life for all.

Of all the seasons, Amihan creates the greatest view,

When the colors of the rainbow come sweetly low.

Vivaldi, Rembrandt and Amorsolo – they were touched-

In their hearts, their lives, and their art. ~
