~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We all act upon a platform of ideals

Actors looking for that elusive stage
On which to perform our dreams

Adjusting to the settings
As we go along

Presenting our hopes and fears
To an audience
Within a house of artful dialogue

Bowing to the recognition
Of the grand author
Composing drama into our character

Rehearsing the future
In a moment of applause

Without ever acting out a part

Yet following the scene
With precision

I'm echoing Carolyn's review. Excellent imagery here. Life is filled with actors and actresses looking for their big moment whether it be on stage or as performers in their own real life drama. Great job. Michelle

Jude,

Ha! You have spoken/penned volumes within this truthful write.
Wow, this can apply to so much, well to life and even more than that!

We do perform, yet as we evolve our performances are more in tune with our "inner souls" instead of pleasing the outside... excellent write... something very similar is in 12-step programs...

This is so true Jude and we are all guilty of playing to the house but then again isn't that what art is truly about hoping to make our audience see and appreciate what we present them. Well done Jude.

Live is a stage, and we are all characters. Sometimes we are characters of someone else's dreams, sometimes we ARE the dreams.

Good one, Robert!

Oh yes!! Killing me softly - or rather, playing me softly with this one, Roberta! The story of my life... thank you; puts me in mind of a darling repost I could do today (I am such a cheat!) (Haven't yet sabotaged your boat, though, have I?!). I like this play... but then, Shakespeare has always been my Main Man. Neat and very classy, Jude. Sophisticated and smooth indeed... you are on a roll here: or is it a crest of a wave?! This flows with cool. TY LOL Kate xx
