The Grand Finale
The curtain rose on a cloudless night
Once More! the crowd clamored
A lone table across the room, a candle
Flickered
Shooting stars lit the sky like confetti
Bowing to the maestro in the pit
Impossible had no meaning
Fireflies sparked in anticipation
Bus service was cancelled
The daily mail, undelivered
At that moment
That precise moment
The telephone rang
Gently, I lifted the phone off the
Cradle
And heard the words I had waited
So long to hear
