Once the queen of the silver screen
she could make you laugh or scream
her characters written by another
embracing in the arms of a lover
her expressions could tell a story
life has moments of pain and glory
an actress, the theater her life
finding her place under the lights
"All the world's a stage"
and all men and women merely players
scripting the journey page by page
hoping to survive a modern age
masks; different in shapes and forms
helping us weather unknown storms
each day a new opportunity to live
a time to give and maybe, forgive
hang on to your dreams in the night
hoping, someday they will take flight
"they have their exists
and their entrances"
you are the author of a best- seller
composing adventures, the story teller
it's your life on a stage of opportunities
fill it with extra-ordinary possibilities
explore nature and its calming scenes
laugh and dance change your routine
step out of time, to your own beat
walk in fields of honey colored wheat
"We know what we are, but know not
what we may be"
Linking with The Sunday Muse
quotes by William Shakespeare
Be the star of your life!
peace, light and love always
I love the beautiful message in this poem on the stage of our life! Truly stunning Truedessa!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carrie, it seems we need to shake up the scenes and write new dialogue on the stage on life.
DeleteWhat a lovely read. We live our life in chapters, do we not? Loved it.
ReplyDeleteHi Bev, so true living one chapter at a time...filling it with nouns and verbs.

ReplyDeleteWe poets are experts at stepping out of time, aren't we? Good writing!
Yes, we definitely have a way of stepping out of time.

DeleteAnd the first quote was used in a Rush song!
ReplyDeleteWell done.
Thanks Alex, and now I want to listen to that song. Rush has amazing lyrical songs.
DeleteI like this, every verse is positive, most every line. The rhyme is good, it fits good in the poem's meaning,
ReplyDelete..
Thanks Jim, I hope the vision clears.
DeleteThis is wonderful. We are creating our own life stories, though it takes a while to realize things are not just "happening" to us. Love this poem!
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry
DeleteThanks for stopping over. I know you have been busy. Breathe in calm
Love the feel of this piece True with Bill’s quotes interspersed. We all script our lives day by day, so we should be carful authors.
ReplyDeleteHi Rob, so true since we are scripting it live, there isn’t a chance to preview and edit the script. I guess, the good news is tomorrow offers a new page.
DeleteBe the star of your life, Yes!!! Wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteShine bright!
DeleteI'd love to step out of time, True.
ReplyDeleteMe too Blue, let’s put on our dancing shoes
