And I Shall

If as Shakespeare said “ All the world’s a theatre…”
then I shall play many parts in this drama
of the absurd, of the fanciful, of the incredible
I shall dwell in the realm of irrational choice
and abandon myself to passion
My choices, not reigned in by all knowing  reality
will seek out journeys to uninhabited places
and listen to the wind echo
I shall dance with Miriam and play a tambourine
made from seashells and silver bells
I shall sit on the hill with five thousand
and eat barley bread and fish
