Love After Love By Derek Walcott

A poem by Derek Walcott made into a short film for my english GCSE class

Poem:
The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

Cool Ellie ^_^. I love the song and the effects are great - not that I expected any less. I'm half way through mine. But yours is brilliant!
