She found herself alone on the sandy beach after the 3-hour drive south. Ventura California was not at all what she remembered. When she left her fiance in San Diego one month prior, Ventura held fond memories for her. Their romance began on this Ventura beach and ended on the same granules of grit.

A poem originally inspired by the song "Starry Starry Night" by Don McLean which in turn was about the painting of the same name by Vincent Van Gogh. I have been writing poetry since I was 16. Just like our videos, I reside in mediocrity when it comes to creativity in prose. Couple that with joining Artlist and finding some amazing cinematic music and I was inspired to create this series that combines those 3 mediums in a moving, inspirational, cinematic and time-sensitive way. We hope you enjoy!

An original poem as read by the Rugged Mountain Gang celebrating July 4th!

India & PakistanMajid Khan (with Permission) that relegated us to clowns. Now we’re neither British nor Asian. Ridiculous, a half-way between nowhere. Our mother tongue called to us, her words broken.

I would like to thank the sunshine for warming my physical body.I see you above me lightening my soul in both good times and bad. You ask for nothing in return. I assimilate you into my skin and entire being.You bring me endless strength and joy.

Conext: Our quest to find meaning of life in this world is often disrupted by the icy grasp of absurdity. People who are sensitive to the absurd world can experience meaningless tragedies. This poem also explores the theme of loneliness. Recently, I read about a woman who died after jumping into a river. Through this poem, I want to express my sorrow for that woman.

It is More Like a Bowl of Cheerios. Life is not always sweet like chocolate. Life is circular, buoyant…able to stay afloat. Sometimes we swim, sometimes we sink. We need sustenance to hold us up.

Annotation by Muhammad Nasrullah Khan: The books teach you shouldn't let grief set up in your life, from taking over your life, and from damaging your dreams. Don't let difficult times or difficult times get in the way of your happiness, even when you can't see it. Khalil Gibran, however, thinks that pain is as important as happiness. I chose this poem to illustrate Khalil Gibran's unique perspective. His poems such as this one leave a lasting impression on the reader. Throughout the couplets, you will not be disappointed with your reading experience. The metaphors and imagery are so strong that I used my hands to represent the rising water, coming together, and floating over the land. I have never been moved to do that by any other poem. It is amazing. A second beautiful aspect of this poem is how beautifully it captures emotion and philosophy. Enjoy:

You are the embodiment of love. Since then, I have adored you most. Do you not hear the cry of the children who sleep on dirt floors?. — the dark and cold embrace of death. Or the landscape of poverty that swallowed his mother.
