Stretching limbs
Tightened strings
Dust in the air
Endless run throughs
Frantic practicing
Directed prayers
Unbroken focus
Feeling the time slip
Wishing for more
Deep breaths
Reassuring glances
An orchestra in tune
Antsy stage managers
Adjusting costumes
Stepping into place
Perfect positioning
Feeling the fire inside.
On the other side of the curtain
A crowd wiggling their coats off
Finding their seats
Whispering excitement
Picture taking
Settling in
Feeling the excitement
Deep breaths
Eyes are big
Trying to absorb it all
Waiting for the music to start
The lights to fall
And the curtain to raise
Ready to lose themselves in beauty
Feeling the fire inside.
