I am so full
Of life
Right
Now
I can feel it pulsing through my veins
Up and down
And all around
In my body –
Oh theater
You are such a pleasure
To me
you lift me up
and carry me away
you transform me
into anything I
possibly
can be-
come.
You make me smile
And dance, and laugh out loud
Randomly
Making people stop on the street
And wonder what happened to that beaming
Creature….
What happened?
You happened.
The space
So full of magic
Ignites something
Deep in me.
The moment when I speak
in front of
people
who are giving me their full
Attention
And interest.
The air still
Until
I break
It
with words
Spoken by me
But coming from
Beyond
From the hemisphere
Of Language
So beautiful.
I would love
To liquefy it
And take a big sip
I think it would taste
Deliciously sweet
And refreshing.
Dripping speeches
Full of emotions
Feelings
Love
Hate
Anger
Fear
Joy
Despair
Anxiety
You encompass it all
You wrap it up
Into spoken shapes
Of beauty.
Thoughts
Become pictures
Living creatures
Just through you.
Oh theater,
Thou art my deepest desire
My life force.
The excitement
Before
A performance
My heart beating,
My body tingling
My hands shaking
Nowhere else do I feel
As close to being alive as
Then.
The air is filled with anticipation
As I wait alongside with
Other actors.
As my performance time
Comes closer
I close my eyes
And get lost in a whirlpool of
Blood rushing through my head,
My heart beating loud in my ears
The sound of it makes me
smile.
And then my name is called
The door opens
I enter.
I am present
This is it.
4 pairs of eyes are looking
at me
welcoming,
curiously.
I can see their interest
In the way the take in
Me
My body
My presence
Nowhere else do I find myself
Being so
Noticed
and
acknowledged.
I feel their
Anticipation.
I take a breath
Catch my running mind
Cause now I just
am
Whatever these words
I am about to speak
Want me to
Be.
And I start.
Beauty dripping down
From my mouth
In form of words
That roll of
My tongue
Filling out this magical
space
Taking their
place
amongst
All the other
Words which
Have been spoken here
Before.
If they could only reach
The audience’s ears
And ignite something
In their minds or
Bodies
That is all I want.
I already know
about the magic
these phrases are able to create
I leave it up to them now
To do
The same
In these people’s
Hearts.
I finish my lines.
I breathe.
It is spoken.
I can feel their
Presence
Now part of the room’s
Athmosphere
I set them free
Now may they rest
Amongst all the
Others
And delude
The next person
Who may enter
This secret space.
I leave
With a bright and glowing
Smile on my face
The outcome doesn’t
Matter at this point.
Thoughts and doubts
About what I could have done better
Will soon arise
But right now
My steps are light
I feel so alive
And happy
Like after giving birth
To a healthy
Beautiful child.
I just experienced
A miracle
Joy circulating in my body
Making me dizzy
And I feel like
I will overfload
If I don’t share
This
bliss
With people surrounding
Me.
So I do.
Smiles
so big they
Seem to spread from one
Ear to the other -
I give them
freely
To anyone I meet.
Sharing hugs full of
Love and life and joy with anyone
Who crosses my way
And cares to embrace
me.
Oh theater
Oh life
Thank you.
My heart beats
Every beat
Sings of gratitude
Fulfillment
Sunshine
Awesomeness.
Here I am
Jewels.
