DREAM THEATER

Louis Gibbs

 

We awaken ...

Dream our world each day,

 

Act parts, recite lines,

Create drama for the play,

 

Tire of the scene ...

Fall asleep to get away.

      So true Louis, we are all actors in this great performance we call our life.

        Just woken from a quick snooze so know it well - super piece of work.

          we are actors on the stage
          from the cradle to the grave

          • Louis Gibbs

            Indeed we are, and even this 'stage' might be just a prop created by us along with our roles. Thanks, willy.

            And here we are, doing some play. Nicely done. Short and awesome.

              It is a grand production, but I hope I am living my most authentic self as best I can. Great poem, Louis. I think I'm just a pilgrim passing through.

              • Louis Gibbs

                As we all are ... passing through, again and again I believe. Thanks for your response!

                O That it is and I'm playing at my best. I changed my environment(stage) away from drama. It's just a musical filled with the magic of nature.

                Great work

                • Louis Gibbs

                  Yes, musicals are a bit easier to deal with, aren't they. Thanks for the compliment!

                • Goldfinch60

                  All the world is certainly a stage and this write should be shouted from it.

                  • Louis Gibbs

                    So glad you share my perspective and appreciate this poem. Thank you, Goldie!
