Behind the Curtain
By RubyXero
In a time that once was
and
the people that once were...
no longer do either exist.
No longer...
Can you see her?
replacing
rejoicing.
Resetting...the stage.
With new faces
and
characters
Each placed
playing their part
in the dance of
life.
He alone watches
in the audience.
Eyes wide
and focused.
Salivating.
Straining
to observe through
that thick curtain.
Glued to his position,
unmoving.
Though fighting
yearning to join.
To jump and
spin,
to flip and pirouette.
Writhing in attempts
in
his seat, he remains...
All on the stage
they live!
Basking in their movement
In their freedom
every second
every move and step
decided. acted upon
as one.
Paying no mind
to the yearning eyes
behind the curtain.

I read this before but I forgot to comment, this is a very interesting and inspired piece of work, like it is being acted right in front of your eyes, theatrical and exciting, you can see the anticipation and glittering eyes, really wonderful work.
