Theatre of the Mind

The crowd awaits, for the 
most auspicious of nights
...Standing ovations & red 
roses, ready to be put in flight
Conductors & maestros alike 
ready their positions
The echoes of my thoughts 
seem to harbour an omission
Strokes of brilliance are 
always ready to strike...
As I open my eyes a facade of 
insanity catches my attention
& the roaring crowd puts my 
thoughts into suspension
Frail & near death, with the 
piercing gazes they throw
I put up an audacious piece of 
display worthy to be called a 
show....
