Painted those faces
vibrant their attire
bright their crowns
a king, a queen and a
quintessential cruel.
A story opens up
legends mystified
expression epitomized
poetic melodies
resounding drums.
Without a word
with style and pause,
on stage to enact
vision and wisdom,
love and passion,
war and bloodshed.
Epics cruises through
their eloquent intelligence
and at the end
with their empty hands
subtract the paints and
those crowns of a bright
make believe world.
