The Actor
A heavy breath fell warm against the red curtains that hid the magic of the stage
A book read again and again truly has touched the eyes of the heart, from the very first page
Chapters of unfolding mystery, suspense and anxiety holding hands giving you that energetic rage
The script in his mind, verses and simulated facial expressions, his given talent at a young age
A unsteady crowd set the tune in the theatre where his talent surely would come to life
Confident to his act, he walked onto the stage, and a huge applause welcomed his good looks
A young man whom stood to his studies, always finding answers in his books
Red, perhaps yellow or maybe even green would be his outfit, but an act never in strife
The gentle for seen gave tune to his heart, it began to sing
Gently, softly flowing music ceased the upbeat in the unsteady crowd
From one note to the other note, sound to sound all with the stroke of a tuned string
Alas the climax of the scene was at peak in the center stage, flowers raining down on him loud
A dream, a vision for seen by his life before finally came to be
His art melted even the hardest hearts scattered in the audience
All in time a dream fulfilled, careless yet hard patience
Yet time did take the long ways there, upon arrival all his trouble was set free
Whether its an act or a scene in you already troubled life, one must be a peace with time
For time passed can never return to be changed, pay ear to my rhyme
Yee shall come to see, joy at heart only Christ can give
Pause, end your act, and He will enter you, love you shall receive
