A Poem on Silence by Randall LaGro, oil and mixed media. Photo courtesy of the Blue Rain Gallery, Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico.
These three haiku are linked into a collective poem:
Gaping wounds exposed
but we want pretty pictures
truth is hard to take
Even if we close
our eyes to what's happening
the truth will emerge
Believe it or not
we all are responsible
save us from ourselves
Like this lovely painting, the poem, and the truth, all are composed of many layers...
Lovely, Tara. xo

Very profound statement in just a few words, and a message that transcends time.
That painting is hauntingly beautiful.

What a beautiful painting- and the poetry is so profound for all of us. Thanks, Tara...

The art and haiku speak volumes to our countries attitude towards the middle east and how it will effect us. It also speaks to problems here at home (politics, education and poverty). Very sad!
