When the lights flood the dusty space
above a wooden platform,
the darkness beyond its length,
from where applause comes as a storm,
the boundaries of lines and curves,
within which art unfolds on-stage,
as the colors of make-up,
and volumes of wigs and costumes define a
character’s cage,
the aesthetics of art, rubbed upon each artist
and polished to shine,
a web of dialogues, movements, expressions to entangle minds,
and also incline,
music elevating moods,
transforming acts into stories with life and soul,
lessons, taught by abstract bodies and emotions,
sculpted from life’s mould,
the shades of life are etched upon your mind
as drama points to you a way out of the mundane,
within the depths of consciousness,
where a door on-stage, shows itself only to those who wait in a queue.
