Theater Footlights
Photo from controlbooth.com
we are part of the play
even as we hide
alone in the shadows
candled footlights reveal
our mind to the ten
thousand eyes of the room
our unspoken speech
heard in heads
nodding knowingly
actors often perform
most profoundly
when silent as stone
stories tell of themselves
upon faces who live
unaware of the show
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

Superb! Rămânem ceea ce suntem chiar dacă uneori ne ascundem în umbră…
