Carol Mays Poet Free verse

The Deeper Reality

Beneath the busy theater,
a little trap door, 
modest and illusive,
opens to a space
infinite and peaceful—
a broader dimension,
resonant and real—
the silent birthing chamber
of all possibilities,
including, by surprise,
the gears animating
the action on the set.
One may find the door
and bask in this continuum
by stepping out of character
and shrugging off one’s script,
releasing and recasting
preconceived props.

Line Gauthier June 4, 2021 at 9:32 PM Cool perspective. I feel like you've taken me behind the scenes ~ Carol Mays June 6, 2021 at 8:21 PM Thank you. What's going on back stage is at least as intriguing as the dramas that we get so involved with.

Debbie Duncan December 12, 2017 at 1:34 PM Sounds interesting stepping thru the door to another dimension :) Carol Mays December 12, 2017 at 2:21 PM Thanks. To quote you, this poem is about "the threshold between two worlds of human and divine."
