Bridge ...

Winter Stars (A Poem)

 ~ Winter Stars ~

A poem by Sara Teasdale

I went out at night alone;
The young blood flowing beyond the sea
Seemed to have drenched my spirit’s wings —
I bore my sorrow heavily.
But when I lifted up my head
From shadows shaken on the snow,
I saw Orion in the east
Burn steadily as long ago.
From windows in my father’s house,
Dreaming my dreams on winter nights,
I watched Orion as a girl
Above another city’s lights.
Years go, dreams go, and youth goes too,
The world’s heart breaks beneath its wars,
All things are changed, save in the east
The faithful beauty of the stars.

When darkness is falling ...

I was out on the terrace last evening humming an old song ...
"When darkness is falling and shadows grow long ..."

The Tunnel

A photographer goes deep into the woods to take some pictures of nature when he comes across an abandoned railway tunnel that holds a strange mystery. There is a great build up of suspense which is emotionally gripping but the ending is a bit flat, very predictable. The plot has been explored before, but it is done well enough to sustain interest. The end left me wishing for a little more explanation. 

The film was the winner of the 2021 Horror Short Film Festival. Filmed at the Steep Rock Preserve in Washington, Connecticut; the setting of the Fall season is absolutely gorgeous. What I liked, specially, is the power of sound, the sound-effects to create that creepy feeling.
