Poem

Car Rides On Wednesday

roll the windows down, grab my large over sized sunglasses
the constant hum of the car and wind intertwined in one
i can let my hair down

the music singing loud songs writing my lyrics
pink nail polish, faded jeans, bubblegum chap stick
the familiar simplicity a relief to my soul

passenger seat empty, my coffee cup full
the road ahead unending into millions of different paths
for one fleeting moment i breathe freely

for one fleeting moment i live for now
nothing can touch me
the future remains anonymous
the past forgotten
the present is all that exists

for one fleeting moment...
i am at peace

for one fleeting moment...
i am undeniably me

My message is The Sun will rise tomorrow, so stop freaking out. I combined pictures of relaxing places along with pictures of people who were happy, or funny images, that tended to be bright or have calming colors. This will entrance the viewer, making them more relaxed and happy and hopefully they get a good chuckle out of one or more of the images in the video.The music in the background is "Here comes the Sun" by the Beatles, and it too is sending a message across to the audience that everyhting will be okay, for the sun is a symbol of light and hope, and it is rising. People worry about the little things in life too often, or stress and/or worry about their own problems all the time. Life's too short to dwell constantly on the negative, people need to let things go sometimes and be happy with what they have. My message puts peoples worries and troubles into another prospective, making them seem minimal because ultimately, you're still living and the sun will rise again tomorrow, and you get to see it, so stop freaking out!
