I am truly moved to weep
watching Broadway’s talent
dance across the stage
in that venue of endearment
where everything they work for
becomes showcased in a showcase.
I don’t have tears of sadness
they really are filled with joy
Seeing such delightful real lives emote
beauty, grace & elegance
at the highest level
of public entertainment.
… and then Carole King stepped onto the stage …
Do you remember when
all of them were elementary students
star-crossed eyes hoping to
be in the, perform as the, sing with a
passion in the school play,
the fall musical,
that one talent show,
the Christmas pageant,
the dance recital,
their senior project,
in a garage band,
just short of the karaoke bar
before they were swiftly drawn
to that element shadowing Times Square.
Dance across the stage,
sing with all of your heart,
shine in front of everyone,
for deep inside
when you question your ability
because after all
we do know that as humans
we are always wondering;
know you have reached that showcase
and the human condition
no matter the obstacles …
brought your enigma, no anomaly,
to the hearts and soul
of all those real people, all those faces,
all those masses that make our lives real,
emulate our lives on the stage.
