I’m experimenting with a few things. Creating more multi-shot or cinematic videos, wine-related content and writing, and just having fun with poetry as a creative outlet while my novel and screenplay writing mind takes a break. So here’s a combination of all three. A little video and poem that has something to do with wine. ;)
The quiet things are the loudest in the mind.
Clocks move shadows and build kingdoms
To unwind
But I don’t want to be a king
Instead lay me among the green
Hold sunshine together in my glass
With water strained from tears
Of the harm men lived through the years
But enough.
It’s quite in the green
Where garnets swirl molten with delight
Freed from the cage of skin
That I am still confined within.
The blue of sky reflects in her eye
Far enough away to hold close
To step towards a kingdom of one maybe two,
Of garnets and blue among the hills
But I don’t want to be a queen
I want these quiet thoughts to stop shattering earth
And instead, build walls on a foundation.
And sit on a porch in silence with the colors of the future reflected in my glass.
And that is all I ask.
