Chandelier





That this video by Sia has been viewed nearly a billion times doesn't make it any less fascinating or poetic. I just love this, truly. And hope you find some inspiration here.

ENJOY--BE INSPIRED--WRITE--SHARE

Hi Everyone, thought you'd be interested in the news that Emily Dickinson's bedroom at her homestead has been renovated, pretty cool: https://www.amherst.edu/news/news_releases/2015/10-2015/node/616807

This is a beautiful video. I wrote a poem inspired by it last year, (which I cannot find on either blog....sigh...)

What a video.. I have heard Sia many times... but I have to admit, it has more been in the background. Hmm let's see what I will come up with.

I had never heard of Sia until just now. I had to look up her age--she's 39! She looks about ten in the video, which made it seem not a little disturbing.

Thank you, Marian! I hope to give this one a try~ I hope everyone is thriving and doing well in the garden!

Thanks, Ella, so I'm not crazy, but now I'm back to being disturbed.

I came across this video... yes it's even more disturbing but maybe a little satisfactory too..

Sorry I've been absent, hellish week(s) for me culminating in a huge work deadline today. I'll be around to read later today and on the weekend.
The video IS disturbing (though gorgeous and what talent!) and that's why I like it so much. If I'm able to get a poem from this it ain't gonna be no stroll in the park, this brings up really dark images for me. (So not crazy, FB!)
Glad everyone is here and I can't wait to read what you've all written. M.

The video, the music ~ mesmerizing. I am a new fan.

This song haunted me after watching it here, so I finally gave in. I hope there was no word limit!

I believe fascinating is the apt word to describe the video but you beat me to it.
