When the lights flood the dusty space
above a wooden platform,
the darkness beyond its length,
the darkness beyond its length,
from where applause comes as a storm,
the boundaries of lines and curves,
the boundaries of lines and curves,
within which art unfolds on-stage,
as the colors of make-up,
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
character’s cage,
the aesthetics of art, rubbed upon each artist
and polished to shine,
a web of dialogues, movements, expressions to entangle minds,
a web of dialogues, movements, expressions to entangle minds,
and also incline,
music elevating moods,
music elevating moods,
transforming acts into stories with life and soul,
lessons, taught by abstract bodies and emotions,
lessons, taught by abstract bodies and emotions,
sculpted from life’s mould,
the shades of life are etched upon your mind
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.

beautifully written n so touching,
yes life is a big stage n we all r actors identified with our roles. Just observe urself, ur daily life closely n u will know. U are shopping in some mall n someone asks u “How r u” and u’ll smile n promptly say “I’m fine” never thinking what u r saying. U may not be in a good mood. So what u said n did was nothing more than acting n it was not ur reality. Someone meets u and u say “I’m so happy to see u” Ask urself “Are u really happy?” and u’ll come to know that u acted. So let’s do an experiment for a week or two and go through this life as an actor and treat this world as a play. If u enjoy then carry on and if u don’t then drop it.
Thank you so much…..I am glad u could connect so well, with the thought!!!
