Sonnet 21- The Road

You see the road that lies outside your door? Somewhere along that road you'll find my home, so start on it, and make each footstep sure until you reach its end. You'll walk alone because, alas, we all tread different ways and walk too brief a time with friends, who must depart when paths diverge. But friendship stays with you until you meet again, so trust that you'll find me, although you'll face some hills whose fists will block your way with all their might, and woodlands thick wherein no light can fill. How will you know the path you tread is right? Feel the wind behind your back and trust its breath- it's mine, that guides with every g

And they spoke of his quest for the great jewels Hidden behind the Wall of Living Stone. "He was arrogant, self assured- a fool! Do not follow his steps! His life was thrown Away by his folly.

I: Protagonist

 The protagonist does not speak to any character on stage. Rather, their speech is directed at the audience.

I cling to life that

Music Lessons

Sing to me, my love and I will teach you how to dance. Give me a chance to show you how to waltz- two three, one two three- and sway with me into the night that’s filled with candied chords and cadences that rush straight to your head. Lose yourself when you’ve been fed upon the food of love. The sound will undulate within your ears throughout your life and never cease to rise and fall. The cantor’s piece is yours alone, so sing to me tonight, and I will teach you how to dance.
