The lights, the set, the curtain
Objects become people
Extensions of the actors body
The actor becoming part of the set
The curtain being the start of life
It opens as we begin the journey
Closes when we part the world
Throughout our lives
Actors we shall play
Performing who we are
We showcase comedies, tragedies
Dramas and romances
In each our lives
The lead it is we play
There are supporting roles
Coming and going from the stage
No character static
Each in their time shall change
Playing a variety of characters
The antagonist, protagonist
Hero and villain
The lover, the clown
The parent and child
Lights always shining on us
At times much brighter
And others seem dark
At the end of the show
Resolution of the plot
The lights fade out
The curtain closes
For one final applause
The standing ovation
The stage is blank
Ready for a new show to begin
