The living proof 
your spirit is 
still living 

I recognized your face 
among the others 
on the stage 

so many years after 
first seeing this play 
so much time has

passed since playing 
the difference 
in productions

no matter how
many revivals staged 
is this how eternity 

is rehearsed? 
missing each other
between the curtains 

coming to life 
with each refrain 
we live

no matter who plays
the lines stay the same 
the delivery 

alters our presence 
attended by memory 
of what might be 

when we share stages again
