I spoke
They all heard me
I choked
I'm at the bottom of the sea

Everyone's watching
Need to finish my piece
I'm drowning
My thoughts freeze

Tried to swim
Time is up
Suddenly it dimmed
I gave up

I’m on stage
of grand amphitheater of life.
Scrip written by me according to souls needs.
Scenery changes with lights
and darks intermingling
until integrate takes place for wholeness.
Fibers of God are in everything to aid and open heart.

My stage props at times can’t be held
but only used inside senses:
Guiding wind in autumn day and chill of winter night.
Ocean whispers sweet with healing energies.
Birds singing in grace to align me with moment.
Night sky’s twinkling stars becoming field for wishes and dreams.

People on earth stage sometimes
have roles sharp but must be played.
Judgmental voices forcing me to interact with self love.
Boss unjustly firing so I conquer fears within to heal.
Perpetrator scaring deep so I evolve to know my greatness.
Parent leaving unexpectedly to heal desertion from other lifetimes.
My own shadow that plagues so I understand and take responsibility.

Other beings present play their part
with light energies.
Friends giving words of encouragement to anchors belief in self.
Lover that shares unconditional love to seal in heart.
Animal sacred who is more than willing to share love continuously.
Teacher seeing potential to move to center stage
when self is ready.

Then there are ones in orchestra invisible,
sharing wisdom and support never leaving side.
Guides with voices gentle giving messages
against backdrop of unconditional love.
Angels with harp of breezes to root one on, inside grace.
Fairies that have wisdom with light energies to anoint.
Aliens who come to assist one and all as one awakes to their support.
Loved ones gone whose memories linger
to carry one on rainy nights.

My stage as performer with consciousness open
lights up everyday and evening
in celebration with dance for freedom.
Dance, with threads of God,
Mother Natures allies and herself,
Seen and unseen beings and
my own determination to gyrate
accepting I am blessed and a blessing

Forever thankful to be the co-create director
with love and wisdom as fuel
of this my grand stage lifetime.

My Quote sparked poem We are on our own grand stage of life, experiencing dark and light, good and bad, smiles and hardships in-order to come back to who we are as Divine and a co-creator/director in this lifetime.
I tried to teach my hamster
To dance around the cage,
But soon found out that hamsters
Were not created for the stage.
Written sometime in 2011.

I am tired
of putting on the shirt
because it reminds me
of the unwanted chain
before the imminent dawn
plucked bouquets
torn down curtains
ripped out blankets
burnt book covers
broken empty cups,

because all that
are just signs of a show
that is about to be staged.

Someone once told me
That a stage was the best place for us to escape
We could express truth
No secrets
No hiding places
Just sweet and safe honesty


The stage
Soon became a place I called home
A blank piece of canvas
My own creation
My own world


Spotlights in line
My voice heard
Loud and clear
I lived a life...
...tedious but fulfilling


But my monologue ended
And I left the stage
I did not turn back...

*...And now I'm homesick
I gave up my dream of being a theatre actress, and now I will always look back and regret it.

Will I regret... giving you up?

Spotlight, that was the area of everything in the stage
where everyone's eyes would follow that gleam of light
that is where you have danced
your feet were afloat in the clouds
while your head was in a crown
A prince swaying in life for his princess
and in that spotlight she appeared before me.
Time to stop being the slow kind of person

Shakespeare wrote, "All
the world is a stage" So when
I laugh at myself

I'm only being
an engaged audience and
when I applaud at

the end I am just
thanking God for his good sense
of Hamlet humor

M-a-s-q-u-e.

Me.

Mask. Me.

Ask me, see me; look within…
Past my mask,
Past my scars,
Past my fears,
Past my charms,
Past my ugly weakness,
Down to the soul and
The soil of my sin.

Yes, I hide here but I will also
Reveal the real, in me.
Behind this shield,
I stay closed
But the door of my
Face tells more,
For those who can see.

Clearly, I am a clown.
That is plainly shown.
But beware:
I am also a bringer of truth --
My truth -- and my beliefs
Are born from deep in the bone.
I stand in defense of my voice
Like a soldier behind the wire.
I bring my armor for the war:
My heart, my hope,
my humanity,
my burning inner fire!

I bring a desperate spirit of courage
And uncompromising desire.
With this act, I will change the way things are!

Though I wear a disguise,
I will enter the theater and
Take my place
On stage.

I will perform my story --
The tale of a tragic martyr -- and
Give expression to my rage.

I will wear the mask,
Secure the armor,
And raise the shield.
I offer to the world the
Chain-mail of my flesh,
My tarnished soul,
My battered bones and
Bronzed heart, concealed.

From this stage,
I will show my scars,
I will engage the enemy.
I will **** my fear.

My mask tells so much,
For those who can hear.

you are
the depth in the backdrop
the swirling dust motes in the angled lighting
the soft ascent of velvet curtains
brushing against a bare stage

as well as
the lead role

— backstage | the whole performance
you set yourself up for the things you convince yourself into being
