There is a moment in time
between nothing and something
when something's gotta give.
It may only be a heartbeat,
or the time it takes
to walk away
from your heart's desire.
But there comes a point
when the time for talking
has finally passed
and the only thing left
to do is...something.
But what that something is
can only be decided
in that brief moment
of impasse...
This poem was inspired by the synopsis of a movie by the same name. The screenplay was written by Jeanne Veillete Bowerman @Jeannevb (you can read about it on her website and it will be directed by Michael Bekemeyer @Bekemeyer.
This movie is a KickStarter project. Please check it out (AND CONTRIBUTE)!!
When I read the synopsis I was moved to tears. I know that moment of impasse all too well. I knew in that moment that I had to do whatever I could to help Mike and Jeanne get this movie made. I don't have much spare cash these days, but they don't need a lot from any one person...they just need a big 'ole bunch of us to skip a latte or two and help get the word out. So, that's what I'm doing.
Check it out. If it moves you even a little bit, please consider donating. Even $1 counts. If you have a website or blog or facebook, G+ or twitter account follow these two wonderful, creative individuals and help spread the word.
Thank you.

I am so humbled by your poem and response to our film. This kind of reaction was one I could only have dreamed of. The inception of this film came from me watching strangers in a coffeehouse and tweeting it out to "strangers" online. The irony. But what is so humbling is how those online "strangers" reacted that day in the coffeehouse and every day of our campaign. The support and love has been extraordinary. I will never forget what you have all done for us. Thank you so much... from the bottom of my heart.
