Found Poem

I let her hand lie on my chest
with the precision of a dancer
grinning out of her freckles
blue eyes blinking rapidly
pleased as punch with herself

The gesture of a delicate distraction
can be charming but is merely smooth faced
love was a word for the mysterious

Her voice was as quiet and even as doom
she sat and stared into the blackness
like a little baby in the dark
simply transparent like a martyrs face
she smiled in a sort of chilly way

Peering through a crack between the curtains
out of the darkness comes sudden light
graciously promising peace beyond the white columns

he steps into the flames

I like what you have here.Whether it was intentional or not, it reminds me of one of the annunciation paintings from the Renaissance. Then you have the messenger stepping out from the flames. Was it intentional? very cool. - elmeer

Jackie - where is your Long Days Journey Into Night essay? I do not see it here, and I do not have it in any of my piles. - elmeer

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!
