Stage set

by Nicholas   Feb 12, 2023


Long after dark every night I lay alone
From the silence, I hear a symphony
A musical introduction
For the greatest production
That has ever been known to be

As my eyes drift shut, the curtain is drawn
Revealing an elaborate set of vivid hues
I'm entranced by each scene
Of a divine love serene
A tale of this man finding his Angel, his Muse

The lights dim down for part two of this play
The orchestra playing dark and deep
Until we, two, once-betrothed lovers
Now kneeling away from each other
The lights lower once more as we weep

I awaken and prepare, wiping tears from my eyes
For I know it's now time for part three
And I rise to the feet
That my heart sinks to meet
For the stage is now set for just me.
