she meets
her final moment
with a swan song for the ages.
the theater is packed in like sardines.
a cynosure of all eyes.
her own stitched shut
as she starts to sing.
her face, baring
tracks of trickling tears,
flush with searing passion.
her voice, quivering
with raw emotion,
reaches a crescendo.
a final bow
amid a thunderous standing ovation.
sustained cheers and whistles
from a captivated audience
a celebrated soprano
rings down the curtain.
the end of an illustrious career.
goodbye kisses abound.
red roses catapult
to the stage.
a swan song
to remember.
