“The Act of Acting”
Take a look behind you
There stand the people
Who have not reached success
Nor degrees of acclaim
What poor bastards they be
Thinking they are burdened by life
While all the while
Remaining burdenless
The "what’s missing": No audience offering applause
When life presents an opportunity, say yes or no
Either accept or decline
It’s your choice to make
No time for lingering
Earth continues to move
Chanced possibilities
Are rare without design
Preface each night's rest with a page read
Then dream each dream in contemplation
Welcome tomorrow's gospel
You’ve earned the good tidings
Enjoy the applause
