THE FINAL CURTAIN?

The lights are slowly dimming
And it's hard to see the page
To write the final chapters
Of the scenes upon life's stage.

Those acts already played out
With the players who were cast -
The sets of each one night stand
Have been struck, all, in the past.

It's hard to keep from burning out
And to keep new ideas, flowing
When there's no one in the house
To applaude the plot, unfolding.

I want to write something different -
A love story, that came true -
One, that had a happy ending -
But, the real ones rarely do.

Special effects and fantasy
With perfect words in every line
Are great for big productions
But, they won't work, in mine.

I want to keep it plain and simple
So, the message it's revealing
Isn't lost in the translation
Of true love's honest feeling.

I search for some inspiration
To set mind and pen in motion -
To free my heart to show someone
It's passion and emotion.

Could it be the final curtain
Is coming down in front of me -
That I already wrote the ending
Of my lifetime's short story.

Abe, what a beautiful write. somewhat melancholy and wistful. but an honest look at the man melting in the mirror. very nice, and thank you

Peace, Joe

What an interesting twist... The good news is, though - There's always another act to follow... Keep on writing, Abe...
