The Stage
Evanescent the scene appears before us
Vistas on backdrops fading further into distance
Recalling differently the same scene
The same locale from a different time
Viewed as through the prism of memory
But as real before us as the characters we see
Standing and moving talking to us
Robed in styles of the time brilliantly colored
Silks and brocades gowns and tunics
Or perhaps worsteds and silks suits and dresses,
Scenes emotions recalled as if from our lives
Laughter and tears behind our composéd faces.
Our lives' recollections like plays we've seen,
Indistinguishable evanescent fading gone.
