Who says only plants feed on light
Even actors do
The way an audience comes alive
It may seem that actors
breathe out oxygen too
For an actor, the stage
The best place to be
Where emotions are true
And his feelings are free
Suspended in time
In that small space
Until the curtain
falls back in its place
He is the king,
he can be the beggar too
As long he has done his lines
And he knows his cue
Playing his part humbly
or even with a spout
He can melt your heart
Or even rip it out
Once the bell goes
And until the lights are out
There stands an actor
Confident without an iota of doubt
Applaud if you like his act
Bring the roof down if you can
What keeps him going
Could be you, his solitary fan
