As I am the Playwright

Through cracked curtain,
I see darkness exit stage right
And a glorious new scene
appear in heaven’s spotlight.
Sweet background music of
nature’s melody is heard,
A harmonious symphony
conducted by Maestro Bluebird.

With Act I, comes forth a
myriad of infinite possibility
What will it be: drama, romance,
or hysterical comedy?
Still unwritten script,
perhaps I shall embrace all three.
As I am the playwright-
creator of my destiny.

Same cast of characters
continue as was here before,
But who knows what novelties
they have in store.
Will it be laughter or sorrow
to my stage they bring?
Perchance an incomparable
medley they shall sing?

Oh, who’s the handsome
leading man standing off stage?
I think he awaits his part
to be written upon my life’s page.
So, if you will, please excuse
my sudden departure here,
I must take time to write his
lines romantically clear.

And who knows...
You may get a glimpse of him
in my next poem.

Patricia - I think romance should be the first act, and I would love to read about it in your next poem...

Enjoyed...I like characters created within prose, poetry and song.  For example.
