Description
Twin sisters came here one day
Tortured souls replete with scars
Doomed ever a night to stay
Devoid even the light of stars
One walking dead, and- yet
Walking steady stride
Another outside alive, and- yet
Completely dead inside
With lives torn apart
Taken from one another
No memories pleased their heart
Save of tortured mother
Very young girls, yes
With eyes too wise, knowing
Mistrusting men's excess
As sand chafes inside clothing
Yet one was spirited away
Brought to a healing land
Found God in a wondrous way
And felt His soothing hand
And she prayed for the other
In misery so very far away
Enslaved as was their dead mother
Constantly abused as carnal prey
One day in that far bailey
Lead rained down from the sky
And this child lost her baby
But was set free in the bye
Reunited finally for a spell
Til the first went to heaven
And mourning her private hell
In pain that would not deaden
But God worked on her as well
And she discovered she was loved
None saw the stain she felt
Heavenly hope restored from above
The child sought God's strength
And conquered bitter grief:
Resolved to bring down at length
Him who stole lives like a thief
Bitter story told in men's court
With rare bravery oh so bold
Resurrecting memories of a sort
To make civilized blood run cold
And now the deed is done
To save her life she must flee
Not knowing if indeed only one
Tiny girl can set others free
Now they both must fade from sight
And this old man is so very sad
But they fought the very good fight
And finally have peace...
For which I am very glad

Wonderful poem and the art is wonderful also!
When I saw her last two images I knew what had happened but still hoped it had not. Your beautiful image and poem confirmed it. I hope that she is able to live a full and happy life and that it brings the peace you talk about in your poem. A lovely tribute to two brave and wonderful young women.
This brings tears to my eyes! Beautifully written and rendered. I do hope the absence is not a forever thing. So I will just say to these two lovely young women.. till we meet again. You will be missed, you're loved and thought of often. Be at peace now, hopefully your battle is won.

Touching words. Those who caused so much pain should be put down, not put in prison. "'Tis no mercy to kennel rabid dogs!"
marvelous image and poem
