I was really moved by this poem. Maybe it was just the lateness of the hour or something, but it just spoke to me. I'm also quite pleased with the way my photo turned out. I think it compliments the poem quite nicely. The "swirling" effect is from the photoshop filter "radial blur," default settings. I greyscaled the image and then played with the contrast until it looked like light was dominating darkness. Then I "blurred," and adjusted the "curves." I'm not really sure what "curves" are, I just know that when you mess with them in photoshop it adjusts a whole mess of settings. I've put a link to the original image so you can see where I started relative to where I ended.
