Afterplay

End of the scene,
each actor breaths deeply
and bows for the closing curtain
as the finished act slowly fades.

Don’t know if there’s life ahead
or just a different stage,
if there’s truth
or if truth’s on the roles we play.

Future’s a winding path,
always paved in hopes and fears.
Who knows, it might even end in tears...

The promised plot may be a sad one
as the imagined perfect love
ain’t granted to ever come

;

Hoping to find that punchline,
Before our time is done,
We walk,
for the sake of walking,
and dream,
cause without dreaming
we’d  be little
more than
sand
