poems to Hisaishi's pieces

Here are some poems I've made to Joe Hisaishi's beautiful music. Some are more closely connected to the movie the piece is from, some are more of how the music makes me feel.

A new beginning (Ashitaka to San)

I thought
this was the end
but it's not
it's the beginning
the beginning
of a new
beautiful world
San, you're alive
and so am I
I'm free
my curse is gone
the world is new

San, look
at all the trees
at all the flowers
at all the mountains
everything is good
no curse
no war
no hate
can stop us now

look at my arm
I'm free
and so are you
everyone's free
free yourself
from your hate
the old world
is dead
but San
we're alive
and the deer god
wants us to live

so let us
live to the fullest
let us LIVE

Coming home (path to the valley)

The old searcher
the old traveler
is on his way
to the one place
he can call home
been away long
slowly nearing
the place where
he can rest

along the path
the people
of the valley
have come
to greet him:
his pupil
his favourite girl
his wild tomboy
his champion flier
his gentle Nausicaa
has told them:
Yupa-sama
is back

he travels along
that familiar path
his eyes resting
on the beautiful
still unspoilt nature
and then
finally
at the end of the path
he sees
sees what he
has been dreaming of
during his absence;
his dear valley
of the wind

this is
the only place
his old weary heart
can rest
of all the
thousands paths
he has traveled
this is his favorite
the path
home
the path
to the valley

What are the videos all about? Are the poems in video form in it?

The video's are of Joe Hisaishi, who has composed the music to all of Miyazaki's movies, conducting some of my favourite pieces. I made the poems out of the music.

That was a spammer, Heidi... That's why they didn'tknow what the poems were referring to... We've been plagued with them lately.

They have been reported to the Mod...

Lovely poems, BTW... I visualize the movie scenes as I read them...
