Voices raised in protestDown the streets
Of Tehran
Your name
"divinely called"
A single shot...
A thorn
Pierced your heart
Blood as red
As a rose
Swiftly flowed
Like a river
Out of your nose
The breath
Out of your mouth
The voice
Out of your chest
The passion
Of the oppressed
Its current strong
Unyielding
Washing over their feet
Giving them strength
To stand and fight
For change
Their cries may be stifled
But they will not be silenced
Do not be afraid
Do not be afraid
You have not died
In vain
You are now more
Alive
Than you've ever been
Reborn
As the face
And the name
Of freedom
Of change
Azadi!
Neda Agha-Soltan
A rose blooms in the gardens of Tehran

This gave me chills.
Gosh that poem gives the bloom so much meaning. Very creative.
Very nice image and poem - isn't it awful how the government over there is trying to spin her death now?
I agree with all the above--the poem is a great partner to the image.
Everything works...the blooming rose and that poem. Powerful stuff! Fabulous take on the theme!
I like the composition of this image.
I like how the poem express so many emotions & imaginary, it's just a shame that freedom is still something so hard to get
I would like to thank everyone who has read and/or commented on my tribute to Neda.
I actually wanted to post this on last weeks Inch by Inch for Courage but I wasn't satisfied with it at that point. It wasn't quite "there" yet.
I had my doubts with for this weeks but I knew "Bloom" was the perfect home for Neda's tribute.
To date this piece has taken my the longest to write, watching the video countless times, reading everything I could possibly find, delving into every detail each little crumb of information...I stuggled with this,deleting line after line and starting again 4 or 5 times...I just wanted to put into the right words the images and the emotions. I hope I have done Neda justice.
Peace - Rene
love the ending...
