Puppet Tears

For puppets never see the strings their lifetimes scenes played out on stage reflected in the viewers eyes their lives and deaths a curtain call. No sunrise ever greets their day for puppets never see the strings of lifetimes lived upon the stage of flowerless and saddened plays. No moonlit shadows follow them through sleepless dreams of dancing feet for puppets never see the strings nor feel a heart breaks stirring sting. Upon the stage they laugh, they cry and bear the burden of the fate of lifetimes lived upon the stage for puppets never see the strings. John G. Lawless ©10/21/2021
