Joining Theater

I heard rumors of a great ship,

full of great people.

Did they have room for me?

I swam by the ship

and to my surprise,

I was welcomed aboard,

beckoned,

appreciated,

cared for.

I looked down at the little ship,

in which I once drifted.

I knew I would never leave

the great big ship

with the even-greater-than-I-expected people

because they made room for me

in the great ship of theater.

  • Plan to Dream

    With my one and only life,

    I plan to think and dream,

    no matter if my ideas are rife,

    no matter how extreme.

    I’ll climb the highest mountain,

    figurative or real.

    My dreams, I‘ll keep on countin’,

  • Even When

    If I can walk through the rain,

    I can run in the sun,

    even when it feels like the downpour

    will never stop.

    Because even if it doesn’t for a long time,

    umbrellas will be offered

    from hands I love to hold
