Mime

Face of paint,
An awkward stance,
Passion and beauty,
     ...audience entranced.

Drama unseen,
Except by the heart,
Imagined props,
     ...a true work of art.

Accurate 'telling',
Of some known truth,
Not one word spoken,
     ...passion in youth.

Antics in comedy,
Mingled with trauma,
As a heart opens up,
     ...unfolding drama.

Seriousness of life,
Presenting a touch,
To youthful hearts,
     ...life is such.

A perfect balance,
To capture the soul,
Of everyone present,
     ...the ultimate goal.

True communication,
Of heart and mind,
A story told in silence,
     ...the beauty of mime.
