Opening Night
Places! Places!
Dim the lights!
Tempo. Timing.
Make it right.
Attack the stage.
Forget the fright.
Finally it’s
Opening night.
Grueling weeks of
Late night trends,
Burning candles
At both ends.
Do it over
And again
Until we get it all
Just right.
Love the crowd.
Forget the crowd.
Stand up proud
And shout out loud.
Overture,
Curtain, lights.
Bring the house down
Opening night.

Let’s Get Together
Enough is enough
-Is enough –
Is too much.
Patience and common sense
Running amuck.
Lit up in firefight,
Caught in the crush
By her saber –
Cut to the bone.
Sudden explosion
Trembles the ground
Mocking the silence –
World upside down til
Cymbals crescendo
And I look around
To find myself
Lost and alone.
One might imagine
A world without hate
Where patience evolves
And all celebrate
Diversity’s beauty.
It’s not too late.
Let’s get together.
Let’s get it done.
