Life’s Stage

In life’s great stage we step, and play our part,
With utmost care and ardent dedication.
Intricacies of drama we impart,
Each word and gesture deemed a revelation.

Yet, as we tread the boards and give our all,
We must recall the truth that lies beneath,
For characters do naught but rise and fall,
While actors, true, embody life and death.

Let us not be consumed by our design,
For shadows cast cannot withstand the light.
A greater purpose moves us ever on,
A quest for wisdom, truth, and pure insight.

So take the stage with passion and with grace,
But know thyself, and keep an open space.
