Theatre in the Sky

 

The sky is a stage

with rapidly-changing sets

suspended above the earth and its

slowly-changing scenes.

A multiplicity of birds 

performs in the theatre of the sky.

Winged props suddenly appearing,

then flying offstage. 

A variety of clouds

make their appearance.

Expanding, contracting, diminishing,

passing on.

The backdrops and lighting

constantly changing.

I am privileged to be

in the premium seats.

A new script is written every day,

with brand new props

for an attentive audience

arriving in this arena.

I am eager for each performance;

ready for the change of scenery

when the curtain of dusk falls

and a new drama begins,

in the night sky.
