Actors

A Poem by Barbara Walker

We were actors,

cast in a comedy/love story

or so we thought.

How were we to know,

the author opted

for a tragedy?

life is a stage and we are all actors, not knowing what the script of our destiny has in store for us.

As I have written before, perhaps we are in control of the lives of others in another universe with our writing. Very sobering.

I'm sorry your play turned into a tragedy.

personal experience
I agree with Coyote but sometimes I don't think tragedy always gets better, sometimes you have that pain for a long time and it takes over you, maybe I'm wrong.

Woo! :-P
A perfect ending to the poem. Tragedy become less painful with time. We learn to look for the bad before the good. A complete tale in so few words. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
