Notes About The Poem

I wanted to write a simple spare poem with no images and a nod to Shakespeare

Una Vita

One life,
one tiny light to shine in our allotted hour
a single strutting chance upon the stage
a single line writ large upon the page,
a chance to love, to live, to give
and what is more,
one entrance and one exit, no encore
