ON CENTER STAGE

A vast sea far and wide stares all around,

Heart pounding, breathing ragged, silence heed.

Eyes roaming high and low, a friend I found,

Not so below, eyes flashing as light needs.

Shapes dreadful, mist spread cloudy, a calling.

Laced feet, glued. Sweat down my neck iced in place.

Fear the shadows, loss of breath, eyes bawling.

The end, eternal. Hope it will be haste.

Waiting in anticipation, a show,

Drifting like the wind. Tranquil echoing.

Lights above me, shaking platform below,

A star shines, uproar applause narrowing.

At last, the end, hard work shall conquer all.

Thanks for the support, no matter how small.
