playing the part

 

“before me a glittering sphere”

before me life
like a jewel

asking
to be lived

asking
which part will you play 
this time in the Great Game of Life?

where we all wear masks
where we all play roles

remember,
once in a while, 
to question the rules set by man

to question everything
especially when it comes to 
seriousness and righteousness

then return to play, knowingly
in emerald fields
with gusto and sincerity
