"Antique chic with some vintage beat"

Trapped in a nightmare
no one has ever escaped,
the misery soaked forest lake
those whose thoughts,
were a sorry state
A light was seen
Was it just a dream
That's for you to decide,
whether woebegone resides

Blow softly in my ear
as the raindrops fell,
without a piercing spear
Accompanied by the raindrop piano
I can hear

So much goes on
Did you prepare?
Costume
Outfit
Do you have to learn the script
Revision not quick
Do you need a makeup artist,
or did you train in this
Yes the Set
Production and lighting requisite
When the Fine Arts perform,
they are casting long before dawn

Although the path may seem long,
remember it is a journey,
you are upon
Stop
Take time
See the people,
who share your chime
