SYNOPSIS: If you are new to screenwriting or preparing to write a screenplay or screen writes of any kind, say a music album, or a short film , the good news is that writing in screenplay format is easier and more intuitive today than at any time since the development of the high technological  developments in the computer field. Advances in screenwriting software now save the hours you would previously have spent learning how to write a screenplay in professional format can now be allocated to giving a final touch to  your plot, writing  your dialogue, or learning screenplay structure. Some think screenplay writing is difficult.  At any rate the making of movies is a joint or collective process which demands that those in screenwriting produce a document in particular format, details, and length called a SCREEN WRITE, After my successful writing of a Screen script based on a poem by Poetess Cherie Sumner, titled as " Love Comes Alive ", I wish to take up another script write based on the poem titled  Nirvana, written  by Poetess Pisuha Singh.

I am not changing the title of the story line. The copy right of the story is vested with the Poetess Piusha Singh. The poem has been converted into a screen - write of 30 minutes with a 25 to 30 takes including the title scenes.

NIRVANA, Piusha Singh's s Poem

Hanging in as a dew drop on a petal to

get a blink of your light to reflect around .

Kindle the grace of your love within

to refract the colors  in a rainbow.

Listen to the sound of my ocean,

Swept on this shore as a sea shell .

Festoon me around the neck,bloomed as

an illusionary blossom amid the delusions  .

Listen to the melodies of my discord,

anticipating to unify in your acoustics .

In generated as loam in a malignant plane,

invigorate me by fidgeting into thy cast.

Entwine in my chaste conscience decisively 

free me from the slavery of  mortal frame

Conclude the crusade of this vicious bag of bones

and flesh, to attain nirvana of your abiding affluence .
