A play



stage is set
actors in place
touching scene
plays its pace -
starting at the
beginning, till it ends.

for each spectator
looking deeply in :
visibility spectacular
acting real -
where beginnings begin
with endless ends!

life is such,
as you will agree:
different views,
different worlds,
depending on the
beholder's eye -
full of beginnings
with no visible ends.

'No visible ends'

I'm thinking mystical, searching. It is the journey that is important. If we ever reach the end, what then?

Excellent poem!

I like the interplay of beginnings and endings. The first verse is like an incantation.

Great piece. The world is indeed a stage on which we act out our lives

It made me think of the "life is a play, the world your stage" quote. At least I think that's a quote.

You always use such beautiful language.
