Your Performance

To the sound of applause
You enter the well lit stage
As you take a deep breath
The crowd screams your name
As your words pour themselves
Into the hearts of so many
 Tears fall from your eyes
 For the excitement is painted
 On the faces of the multitudes
As your performance slowly ends
 So many ask you to continue
 Time becomes less significant
 As your words become vaccines
  To the demons of a raging pain
  Like the sound of Apollo’s Lyre
 You leave your listeners in awe
  Their hearts become a canvas 
  Which you fill with masterpieces
  All you did was listen to your heart
