ACTOR

ABSTRACT POEMS



                            

                           The curtain comes up.

                           The lights go down low.

                               It's time to go.

      I'm finally out there.  I need to try not to scare.

   This script I hope I know.  

I hope I know, on this stage, where I need to go.

      It's true.  I hope I remember what I need to do.

                           I'm standing there all alone in

                            the place.

          I look out at each face.  All the faces.

          All the places.

                           I stand there on the stage.

                           I try to remember the first page.

               A moment I would never come, is finally, here.

                           I try to hold back my fear.

                         I try to hold back my tears.

This has far more meaning than an actor standing upon a stage. Wonderful!
