curtain up

if all the world
is a stage
has the curtain
gone up
or is this
the dress rehearsal
do I know my part
my lines are ad libbed
rather than learnt
and how does it all end

interval

yet there is a meaning
and an audience
the one who watches
is also a player
if we can but
recognise him
this drama is an
act of love
and runs to the
end of time
drawing all life
together in a
final scene when
we bow
and hear the applause
as we go out into
the dazzling
light
