Stages

A curtain falls

Silence engulfs us

Another stage of life

Passes us by 

The audience pauses

Unsure what’s next

The players hide

Nowhere to be seen 

A voice beckons

From within the room

A soft voice

With a tearful sound 

Has the curtain fallen

For the final scene

Will the players

Return to the stage 

What will happen

When the lights glow

When the questions

Are put forth 

Will the players

Run and hide

Will their story

Be revived
