Fragile

Painting #6 Theater by Mary Cassatte 1879 Fragile Captivated, alive, every ounce of her being, coming to life, every delicate emotion danced. Every mastered note romanced her deeply, a love affair long-lasting dare not end tonight, dare not bow as the curtain closes hiding from her fluttering heart. Sounding off as the drumbeat fades into the dressing room, reveal your face. She beckons her love as the curtain remains closed.

A profound piece, with a great choice of words, Danetta. Really like the impact of the closed curtain at the end.
