The Play a Midwest’s quiet conservative town reaching culturally outward with insight, bound New York lights on open plains though subject matter universal an Encore, to rehearsal! one more time shhhh….. Nationals are coming…. practice, practice, add more in less concise precise in timed time refine, define, combine, realign, consign…..hope! places, places everyone! know your spot don’t be undone don’t forget to break a leg don’t forget to walk on eggs don’t forget the rehearsed line and then do it again one more time. ~*~ so they did, and did succeed take the play and with godspeed cursed rehearse with lusty need to know they’d done it so….indeed! simple lines of clarity spoken once in variety this cursed rehearse of brevity stripped away all naïveté of the audience… pain, emotion, lost devotion, amid commotion of life held the struggle against the waggle of the wiggle of strife the learned patient, as cancer’s host did not brag nor did she boast of her poetic knowledge and its course that she rode most gallant astride history’s horse not till the end, when the pain had increased had she lost compunction nor valued word surcease she treasured words so! the audience in combined despair heard others’ sniffles combined with theirs for the actress held their stare and not because she was bare of hair but the pain of loss for inspired word left her grasp, all poets heard cancer’s pain had gained, when, in a moment’s clarity, she once again spoke Donne and his words became charity “Death be not proud...” and she spoke the lines before the gasp death entwined… but did not last… in staged light, she became her soul, all else had never met the goal she walked out in naked brilliantine and the crowd roared at death’s lost scene The Play 06-25-01 [This message has been edited by Sunshine (06-25-2002 04:26 PM).] |

 (big hugggsssssss) I may be wrong, but this felt to me like a double-meaning poem, the drama itself but then a deep sadness of loss, almost like a melodrama of human emotions! (sigh) This is deeply heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!
