Awakening…a discovery, starting anew, a time full of vision and hope.
Awakening
From behind the curtain,
With boldness and grace,
She glides onto the stage…
Awakening
“How Beautiful!” “Gorgeous!” “So elegant!”
The audience applauds her appearance.
“Is it me they speak of, and not someone else?”
Awakening
She opens her mouth; all eyes are upon her.
Her words soothe their ears like a song.
“What I have said, do they truly understand?”
Awakening
The last line is spoken; she begins to take a bow.
A tear forms in her eye.
“Is this all there is? Is this the end of the story?”
Awakening
Life can seem so empty when we expect too much.
Many times things are not what they seem.
Keep searching though, do not give up hope…
Seek the truth…for it is there your light shall beam…
Awakening

What a magnificent poem, very elegant and beautiful. I could visualize your words as I read them.
Why thank you Lew…my inspiration came from my own thoughts and the painting, which has long been a favorite of mine. I am glad you enjoyed and experienced what I was trying to convey through my words.
Peace and love,
Felecia
