Warm Emotions of the Deep
Comfort in Stories and Cinema
Warm emotions of the deep
Love and laughter color my picture.
Vicarious life I have for thee
Moving picture may make me weep
Unrealistic expectations I hear in lecture
Warm emotions of the deep
Story and plots make wild leaps
I sit tantalized peeking from reality through a fictional aperture
Vicarious life I have for thee
Unattainable yet attainable for me to see
Observer or participant I can live all futures
Warm emotions of the deep
No mortal danger but ominous noise creeps
Safety with a side of popcorn is a beguiling rapture
Vicarious life I have for thee
Romance and love release heat from my cheeks
Nostalgia of my childhood is recaptured
Warm emotions of the deep
Vicarious life I have for thee
