Opera House, Composed 3/29/11


It was but days ago; it was alive-
A splendid show of young vitality.
The singers and dancers did seem to strive
To light the room and set all passion free.
The artists' crafts that made the glorious set,
Once lit by light in shadow now do lie.
But memory still does that stage beget
to bring back life and colour with a sigh
Now derelict that place of glory stays.
Now not but ghosts can dance to shift the dust.
Still memories don't come in better ways,
Than on that stage where success was a must.
To sing and see her dancing there again,
Are memories lost to a thought of when...
