Remembering
A visit to a cemetery inspired this.

Remembering
calm
among the plumeria
and palms
the rows of photographs
on stone slabs
with names carved in rock
each gaze
every face
impassive on marble
etched in time
and do they see
the living that come
in the sunshine, the rain
burning offerings?
remembering.

brief but powerful
nice one
i wonder, too... beautiful image and words.
I guess we all have our thoughts on that, but, personally I think they do. Love the sketch and poem!!
floots, polona and pat,
thank you, guys!
couldn't think of anything to write the whole week, so it has to be a brief one! managed to do a sketch of a frangipanni flower too.
glad you guys like it. :)
Strong, yet peaceful.
Did you do the sketch?
Oh I just looked up at comments and see you did sketch the flower. Cool!
I really like this
ps you may or may not remember me, but in any case i wanted to apologize for my long absence.
hello gel,
thanks for visiting!
i have been drawing and painting since i was a kid. no formal training though. i used to do oils and poster colours. hardly use those mediums now, more into pencils and ink (and digital stuff). :)
hey orso,
it's great to see you again. you must be busy with your studies and work. i remember you for your edgy and honest writing. :)
I like the serenity of the cemetery. Very peaceful. I like this poem.
Very beautiful piece, dsnake. :)
they see but only as dreams for they are asleep, and peacefully so.
lovely image btw
