~Life's Theatre~
The theatre's dark
The lights are turned down
The curtain has closed
My heart begins to pound
The show proved success
The encore was earned
The cast must depart
My soul begins to yearn
The stage is asleep
The seats have all cleared
The actors are gone
My eyes begin to tear
The silence screams loud
The props have no stage
The new script evolves
My fear begins to rage
The marquee is changed
The next crew falls in
The doors are now locked
My mind begins to spin
The venue must grow
The next stage is here
The actors suit up
My doubts begin to clear
The theatre wakes
The new play's told
The script has new lines
My fate begins to mould
The 1st scene might miss
The rest will be fine
The show will go on
My future begins to shine

The Haze
All you see is like a blinding haze.
Sometimes hours feel like days.
Sometimes no path in your gaze.
People leave but
by Elaina Wicks
Each day proves a lesson,
life through a looking-glass.
Amids t infinite numbers,
feeling lost in the mass.
Witness to profound
