WIPs: Forgotten Flowers IV and V

 

 

Forgotten Flowers III- Final

I always incorporate symbols of hope. Even in my artwork that depicts the darkest subject matter. This piece features the bluebirds of happiness and the rainbow of hope lifting the faded and forgotten, old lace, away to a better place.

Forgotten Flowers

 

Forgotten Flowers

How many young women have to die?

How many mothers have to cry?

While those in charge turn a blind eye

At the blood and the violence,

the lives lost and the hate,

how many more hearts

will stop beating as we wait?

There is a garden full of nameless,

forgotten flowers

that have been hastily plucked and pushed aside,

leaving not a trace of their warmth, their beauty, their stolen grace.

Over this garden the sun rises and falls

And in the still moonlight the forgotten flowers whisper their calls;

"Don't forget us", "Remember me"," Please"

 

With Love and Remembrance, Always

LaLa
