By Paul Mirabile
I’ve performed upon many stages of the World
Have donned many masks,
Am today like a ship whose sails furled
Floats listlessly upon the horizonless seas of uncertainty.
.
Passed are those days of fury and adventure,
Of desert crossings, mountain passes and oceanic swells ;
The hour has come to lie down and venture
Forth towards a novel existence of tolling kneels.
.
All has become pensive, still and Silent
Amidst the glorious illumination of nightly bidding ;
Where vivid Dreams and Tales invent
An irrevocable identity, so unexpected, yet so fitting.
