Images capture the light
as the sun shines through the crystal
tragic missteps cost us pounds
less than a dollar a day can save
show the life withering away
growing empathy fades with time
concern turns to doubt as the paint is washed away
mix of red, black, and a dash of white
sparkling water over the hillside
can't be seen from this point of view
and the leverage that is gained
is that of a frozen frame
one that tells a million stories from different mind's
tragedy struck as this was burned
for a war that had nothing to do with it
all this for a point, all this to get it across
faded like the pages, ripped like the ocean
never to be seen again...

Vivid is your Spirit

Beautiful

Right on man....nice work..

That's awesome Fear

Thanks for all the compliments. This was written about two years ago about some of the paintings that were burned by Hitler's Third Reich during World War II.

Nice Fear
