Literature Text

I alone stand in the darkness
I listen for some sign of life
A sigh, a breath, a scream
Something to show I'm not alone
But all I find is silence

Exaunt Omns

They left, one by one
Till I was left behind
Masques, and Gowns, and colorful fans
Gone in a swirl of sound

Exaunt Omns

Fled are the actors
The set piece rolled away
The curtain closed
And house lights dimmed

Exaunt Omns

In this emptiness
Fear and Pain
Hurt and Despair
Unveil their macabre drama

Exaunt Omns

I alone watch
Accompanied by the world
When the Heavens are the theatre
And the human mind the stage

   Call the Curtain
       Fade to Black
           Exaunt Omns
Written 2010
First real poem I wrote. First time I was able to write anything good following the passing of my friend Schaunell in 2007.
