“I will not be “famous,” “great.” I will go on adventuring, changing, opening my mind and my eyes, refusing to be stamped and stereotyped. The thing is to free one’s self: to let it find its dimensions, not be impeded.”-Virginia Woolf
Worthiness
by Carmen H Gray
She steps onto the stage
The audience holds their breath
Waiting to see the great performance
Burdensome silence
Tangible darkness
Envelop her
She opens her mouth
But nothing comes out
“Say something!” they demand parsimoniously
“What is it you want me to say?”
She asks weakly
“What would you like to see?”
She whimpers
“What can I do for you?”
She cries softly
Her eyes close
She shuts them out
Welcoming in
The resplendent silence
She opens her mouth
A quavering melody
Manifests into
Her own song
Monarca Rising 
One response to “Worthiness”
beautiful, that is all I can say.
