The temporary show that we call life.
Film opens on …
A woman in the dressing room
Applying make up and in costume
Waiting for her cue to go onstage
Re-reading the script on crumpled page
She’s nervous and she should be
Consoling the mirror, young and pretty
The music jars and the crowds cheer
Swallow the excitement, bite on the fear
The scene approaches ,the lights unfocused
The audience waits and the actors pause
A climax to the plot
A story that many forgot
A drama , the tragedy and a star
Some king of comedy with faux-pas
A curtain call
The curtains fall
A story has ended
But the show must go on…
