Light

If you knew
your Soul
was made of
Light
and could never be
extinguished;

If you knew
your Body
was a Player’s
costume,

chosen for
its perfect
fit for your
Soul;

When you
got that
perfect part
you auditioned for,

because no one
can play it
like you
can play it;

If the Director
sat you down,
looked you
in the eye
and said,

“You’re hitting
it out of the
ballpark every
single night
out there.
You’re a natural,
just being
You.”

Could you lose
some of that
stage fright?
Could you
play You right
over the top?

When the curtain
drops on the
last show, and
you come onstage for
that little curtsy, and
after the
cast party,

take some time
to catch your
breath, but
wait till you
see what’s up
next for You.

You’ll love it.
