The theater at the end of the world

The velvety red curtains lift   
The sun is the first player out 
“I quit” the words bounce loudly across the room 

Darkness ensues in this ancient theatre 
The last place there is   
We sit watching the plot unfold    
 
Tall buildings kneel outside 
Fires hiss and growl 
But we safe here inside someone’s imagination

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
