A Time to Speak

The sun also rises – someone wrote
Relieving the moon of its nightly watch

The stars go home, the clouds appear
Gone, with the darkness, are the fears

The colors of the sky gray, blue, and white
Paint the backdrop for the set, the curtains soon will rise

And there at center stage, bathed in the light of the sun
Is each and every person, the show is soon begun

All the world’s a stage – they say
And our dramas are uniquely individual

The lines have been rehearsed, intent and action too
Patiently awaiting and listening for our cue

The feelings we have inside are not ones to hide
Communicate expressively, we all must give a try

And now your time to speak, to be listened and be heard
A captive audience will hang on every word
