"This moment speaks to me."
The poem I'm writing for is based on some of Jesus' last words as he died on the cross, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" My piece will not have the poem sung or spoken. I felt that this poem is the most emotional and gravitational out of the suite... This kind of deep, desperate emotion is something I felt I could better communicate through the language of music. This scene in the life of Jesus is one where he is perhaps most human and also most emotional outwardly. I am an introvert and a deep thinker and feeler usually, so this moment speaks to me. Also, Alice's words have opened up a new view for me which is always really fun to think about.
