I'm a writer of poetry and prose...and due to the inspiring works of Anni...and several others here at GM I recently have taken to bring along a camera for my walks...creating a new hobby/obsession of mine....
Recently, I have also taken to recording my poetry into MP3, and into videos. All videos and mp3 files uploaded here are mine.

lonely forgotten, hiding from society

Lightly dampened by the glistening dew

Sveta In the Promised Land
Hope glimmered brightly in her future, it was a
Desire for an education, a hope for love, a teacher's utopia
A hope for a family of her own, so she kissed farewell
To her parents, and left the damp somber Eastern land
She called home and followed the illegal pied piper's song
Across the green billowing sea to the Promised Land
In her uncle's nightmare, she found her dreams scattered
One by one as she was beaten, her blood vesse… Continue

Not as an ugly guilt trip, but in a soft way of- 'Okay, I know how much you hurt right now, to the point of feeling numb or wishing so badly that you were numb that nothing else matters. But please, just first tell me how to handle this for you since I wouldn't want to say something you don't feel or that maybe you know would hurt them more.' Thats been a useful angle. Hope that makes sense. I understand what you said about others making choices and dying as a result, or side effect. Lost some important people in my life that way too. That's even a greater tragedy I think.
I wrote a poem about my father's death and submitted it to VoiceCatcher. I'll send it to you if you're interested. I don't know- I just felt compelled to share with you after what you'd written-- not everyone can talk on a gut level that is real about things that hurt and yet mean so much. That's no doubt why they hurt- because it is our body/heart/mind and soul telling us how important they are. I would like to talk to you sometime about your ideas on presenting some deeper, meaningful pieces for a gallery show- and how to keep it on the level of serious conversation without turning too dark.
That's part of what I really appreciated about your piece- that honesty/balance. Write back if you want or e-mail me at creative.slant@gmail.com if you'd like. Take care, A
