the stage is set
the paint still wet
on props
orchestra tunes
starting soon
excitement in my heart
a tragedy, a comedy
a script of drama and love
lines rehearsed
totally immersed
a "Tony" award for sure
final curtain call
still enthralled
as you play
for an audience
of two

Well done, stirs my love of theater from years past. That nervous, electric moment before the curtain goes up for the first time, wondering if the glue that you just frantically applied will hold the sets together throughout the whole production. Thanks for the reminiscence.
the curtain goes up in relationships over and over again -- making us wonder if we should get off the stage and just do real life
