Cherish, May 2021

Live theatre

is a part of us

It broadens the world

In which we live

A live exchange of energy

So much to take

So much to give

But when it’s gone

And there’s no space

In which to receive

that rich exchange

without the hugs

without the stories

We can feel lost

And life feels strange

There is a longing to be together

to return

to reconnect

An excitement at the thought

And at the same time anxiousness

But never to forget

Beneath it all

We all are one

A human kind of pyramid

In which we’re loved and where we learn

And that our value does not lessen

When we cease

to share a space

For our purpose

Is the light we hold

For our community

to embrace
