"REBELS" WAS THEIR NAME Judge not, that ye be not judged. Matthew 7:1-3 KJV ---------------------------------------------- Each fair familiar feature of their face aglows with the dim lit day's assistance, rests upon strong shoulders reminiscent of roses bloom, see their trust and proud grace. Before those same red cheeks were flags of shame; tearing at their hearts, rebels they were named. Who knows, are they friends, sisters, or lovers? They don't look alike but but they live strong, telling their own truth stopped rumor's hover, truth clears the blind eyes, errs are not lifelong. While the shrinking sun delights in its role, can they sustain falsehood, forgive such ways? They chose to stand strong, still in mute dismay but in their bosoms dwell two holy souls. __________________________________________________________ ~~Inspired by the painting: Twilight Confidances by Cecilia Beaux 1888~~ __Olive Eloisa D.

Excellent, Olive_eloi! You contemplate and probe for answers, although at the back of your mind you already have your own answers. Hugs // paul

Mark, I would say this one of the hard poems I did.. I don't know how to attack the painting but weeeeee, what Inspired is the way their faces are painted, one facing forward, one sideways, wearing same uniform, with the painting title confidances then there.. =`) thanks!
