At the moment I am loving the process of making Video Poems. One leads to another constructing a series of meditations on life and everything around it.
Generally each peace starts with a statement, then question and ends with a wish or a prayer.

Video poem by Lira Kay ‘Responsibilities’ is about growing up I guess. Anyone could be thinking what I’m saying here… That’s the idea.
.
Why does it take so much to figure out responsibilities? I want to be a kid. I also want to preach, be wisdom. And what do I expect to be? My parents told me things that vary. One decided I ought to be an astronaut, the other says life is about being nobel. I love them both and run away from each so far that even phone call is an effort. I can’t afford to smile. I berry boredom in the bunch of gossip. The question I may ask is an easy one: what life is for? The answer is ‘forgiven’

Video poem about freedom, text, music and sound by Lira Kay
.
Why does it take so much to notice that I’m free? I have a child, I teach, I go to gipsies, play lottery at weekends. I’m happy every time I win. I’m calm and almost silent with myself, don’t count my blessings, just accept what’s given. I’m good, enlightened and forgiven. All the blames had past to someone else. I feel for them that’s all. I want to step in front of present, when sorrow’s gone and future holds it’s breath. That moment of belonging, perhaps against religion, feel Earth and gravity and be content.

Story about the end and a beginning of the world.

‘Birth of Venus’ is a short art video contemplating on environmental issues. It is a poetic interpretation of post-apocalyptic world where the water is first an element of distraction and then a life force. Water is where we all came from, where we go and where we will be born from again in the new world.
Film has an original sound track and poetry written by Lira Kay.

I loved playing with words and pictures in this one! Associative poetry and associative editing.
