When Lights Rise

Weeks of practice,

Day in and

Day out

Drills

Lines

Memorization

Choreography

Close quarters,

Lie in wait.

Silence falls, 

The watching hold their breath.

The game is a foot,

All players to their positions.

Second guessing, 

Nervous Jitters,

Excitement over flowing.

We worked our tails off,

Rehearsed till we went insane.

Rising of the Lights. 

The Curtains part.

The first move

The first line

Another story is birthed, 

In the eyes,

In the minds,

In the hearts,

The Audience awaits.

Breathe,

And step out

Into the Rising of the Lights.
