On Stage



From the time I wake
I perform;
What clothes to wear?
Which words to use?
And which to avoid?
Who directs?
What guides the following buzz?
Questions unanswered…
Just a moment!
I reflect, I am amazed
More thoughts bombard my days
Never "finish"
Writer, actor
Me, the protagonist
We all
All of us
From early morn
Protagonist extra-ordinary!
Constantly, we are
On Stage.
Believers and dreamers
can see invisible colors and vibes
that skeptics cannot see.
