Felecia R. Weber Poet Prose Poetry

Awakening

AWAKENING

From behind the curtain

with boldness and grace,

she glides onto the stage…

Awakening

"How beautiful!"  "Gorgeous!"  "So elegant!"

The audience applauds her appearance.

"Is it me they speak of, and not someone else?"

Awakening

She opens her mouth; all eyes are upon her.

Her words soothe their ears like a song.

"What I have said, do they truly understand?"

Awakening

The last line is spoken; she begins to take a bow.

A tear forms in her eye.

"Is this all there is?  Is this the end of the story?"

Awakening

Life can seem so empty when we expect too much.

Many times things are not what they seem.

Keep searching though, do not give up hope…

seek the truth…for it is there that your light shall beam…

Awakening
