And if we entertain Shakespeare's words... "All the world's a stage ..."

 

And if we entertain Shakespeare's words... "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." let us have a casting call, a script anew ... players of the light...

The Theatre of Our Lives

Be it a performance real

Quest and pursuit ne’er conceal

Be it of vision, and a knowing wise

Love, faith, truth, beyond demise

Be it staged, spontaneous, ever in revelation

Each breath of BEING in the NOW celebration

Imagine, envision, dream the dream awake

Yours is a role not another can take

Curtain Call, Bravo, Bravo be it heard

Within your heart pulsing be passion’s word

The prize, the trophy, to bear your name

You in fulfillment of the players game

You in fulfillment of the players game.

Curtains Drawn

the theater lights now low
the stage echoes the emptiness
the curtains drawn
the performance and the critic
the being and the reckoning
shadows hold the drama
light holds the vision
and the act awaits applause
the new script has yet to unfold
a pause, time's interlude
the curtains drawn.
