Stage left

Those who have left

Stage right

And out of sight 

the Beautiful calligraphy 

Of their lives 

 Of ink on air, 

And wild fire 

And cold water. 

gentle memory  

Of earth dreams 

and half Remembered scenes 

Words and phrases 

Smiles and tears 

Inculcated into  

Regrets  

and simple Missing Speeches.

 All on stage 

And with them 

pursued stage left
