When A Beggar Beholds You

This is my first attempt at doing an IMovie on my macbook that I bought myself for Christmas. Any ways the poem is "When A Beggar Beholds You by Anonymous (c. 324 A.D.) The words are:
When the breeze inflates your 2 robes of silk you look like a Goddess enveloped in clouds. When you pass, the flowers of the Mulberry Tree drink in your perfume. When you carry the lilacs that you have gathered , they tremble with joy. Bands of gold encircle your ankles, stones of blue gleam in your girdle. A bird of jade has made its nest in your hair. The roses of your cheeks mirror themselves in the great pearls of your collar. When you look at me I see the great river Yuen flowing. When you speak to me I hear the music of the wind among the pines of my own country. when a horseman meets you at dusk he thinks it is already dawn,and brutally he brings his horse to a standstill.....When a beggar beholds you he forgets his hunger.
Underlying music is by Cyprian Consiglio. Narrated by me.
