Curtain Call


the curtain drawn
the script written
the lines rehearsed
the drama to unfold
what illusions will seem real
what deceptions will be masked
what TRUTHS will be honored
what story will be told
am I backstage acting out a role
what lines do I repeat
what drama do I make real
what of life do I behold
what scene includes me
what scene bears me no place
what re-write is there to consider
or is all foretold
a calling heard
open the curtain
here to stand
this the moment
I in command
illusion bears no veil
deception wears no mask
TRUTH IS and I AM.

applause
bravo
curtain call.

Mike,

Thank You. I wanted to Thank You for such a delightful post, but after posting, I received notice that is was not accepted by the e-mail account sent to via your blog. I most certainly appreciated the heartwarming story about the farming couple. Indeed most encouraging.

Appreciate your offerings.

Best,
Rose Marie

When creating the image, it was the passions of life that inspired me. The depths and folds that embrace us... and the fire within that defines many a desire... yes, life calls...and there it is, show time... a stage ever present... life performs... Encore ~ ENCORE...

Today's post was inspired by a calling for an ever new performance of life, this our choice... may we answer willingly to ENCORE...ENCORE...
