There is nothing I have felt
that compares to the feeling
of seeing the lights go up,
seeing the dance moves play out,
and the main character standing,
all alone,
center stage,
in your show.
Life is so beautiful
when we use it
to create.
How else will we tell our stories?
Or someone else’s?
Sometimes it feels
like we’re telling the tale
of long forgotten memories,
two people lost to time.
Ordinary moments made significant
by the human experience,
by emotions,
and by embracing what it means
to be alive.
An art so vast
it can be understood by all.
That look an actor gets when the moment feels all too real,
like they are so engrossed,
it feels like it's really happening to them.
That is true art
And I have never seen anything like it.
