*The Final Scene*

The Final Scene

You
       and me
Like the answers
       to each other’s question
A confirmation
       an approval that showed
how right
       we were
when we swore the revenge
        to the life
when we picked a fight
        against
the distorted roles it gave us

We were
the unwished actors
playing
on the stage of disconnection

In the darkness
when my eyes could not see
You came to find me
before the curtain was down

You are the one
whose hand I am holding
and the one
who holds my heart

… we are unwanted actors in this life, I always felt that way … we only have 2 choices though … either go on or not … I chose to go on to see what’s around “the bend” … it might be something better lurking in the background, eh? Great poem, great thoghts, my friend Eclipse … Love, cat.

This is a lovely poem – I don’t find it final at all – very positive and affirming, very powerful stuff that suggests rising up against predetermined roles and stopping curtains falling – full of future potential.
I liked it a lot.
