Empty Stage
Location
An empty stage.
And the lights are off
All save one
And it's in the center.
It sits in the very heart of the stage
And it's lighting me up
And the audience's hushed.
I can't see them
But can feel them there.
I know they sit.
I know they wait.
And I wait too...
To show what I can do.
The music starts
I move.
I feel.
I speak without saying words.
I show things unexplained.
I dance.
I act.
I sing.
I give my everything.
The joy
The rush
The beauty I see
That's part of what makes me, me
The empty stage...
The quiet stillness...
I wait.
I watch.
I perform...
