The Play
/I stand upon darkened stage
The theater vacant
Silent
And again dig deep within
The well of experience
Looking for inspiration
Desire
To play my part
No patrons fill the stalls
No orchestra sets the mood
No director advances the plot
There is only stillness
As I search for emotion
And meaning
In the empty words
Of a script I did not write
And cannot recite
With any conviction
For I feel nothing
But that the curtain has rung
And the message I had sought
To convey
Remains unspoken
The audience
Unmoved
And the longing of my soul
Unanswered
