I am from Comedy and Tragedy

Props and memorization

I am from backstage

Listening for cues and silence

I am from lustrous sun and palm trees

Dry wind in the golden state

Parched skin and lips

I am from cold backyard pools

Bronze skin and platinum blonde hair

I am from outdoors and imagination

Tea parties in England and lead singers in rock concerts

I am from clouds in the sky

Flying bunnies and sleeping dragons

I am from mudpies

The next best chef

I am from lemonade stands

Plastic cups, hot summer sun

From living room forts

Blankets flung over chairs and tables

I am from family gatherings

Savory meals and tasty treats

Dancing across my taste buds

Accompanied by music, singing, and silly stories

That serondae my eardrums so sweetly

I am from the big stage

Beaming lights warming my skin

Standing ovations, tears of joy.
