#EmptyReflections
I have grudgingly
come to accept
the necessary balance
of life.

Whilst I live for the action,
for crowds that stare,
entranced,
at the stories that
unfold before their very eyes,
I know that a period of
despair
and loneliness must follow.

Such is life's balance.

For days,
Weeks,
months,
I am part of the cast;
an essential ensemble
and cast member
happy to shoulder the
burden of my teams.

There is no thrill on earth
that matches the theatre buzz
before a first performance.
The shows
an exhausting but
worthwhile effort.

The misery never hits
on...
