1the stage lights come up
on the vibrant set of
mind boggling complexity
intricacy
& beauty
everything absurdly real
under the hot lights
the changing colours
emote
the swirling patterns
describe
the breathing vitality
burns
such a show!
such a spectacle!
the actors are forgotten
& the script is forgotten
directing is forgotten
the stage becomes it all
characters bounce off the walls
or creep through the grass
hypnotically
plotlines plait long & thick
elusively alluring
what a show!
what a world!
when the curtain falls
the show is over
it wasnt a rehearsal
the curtain falls
and all is plunged into darkness
and all is buried in black
