Right now, visual artists are attending a workshop on painting, dancers are reviewing last minute blocking, theatre performers are practicing lines, and choristers are going over music for the show tonight. Yesterday, the choir performed for the first time at a mass, and we can only hope that today’s show goes as smoothly. There is a large amount of anticipation for the show, but also a bittersweet feeling as we spend our last day in Rieti and prepare to go to Rome early tomorrow morning.
Before the Show
By Nisha Malhotra
4/10/12
Colors swirl, scattering light
Wings spreading, trying to take flight
Burning desire, burning hate
Galaxies pass, twisting fate
Stars collide, and planets tilt
Flowers bloom, and flowers wilt
Let it be, whisper the leaves
The wind weaves its way through the trees
Take life’s journey smooth and slow
Plenty of places and spaces to go
The sun will set and the moon will rise
Under blackened, star-lit skies
All these universes in the blink of an eye
I breathe in deep, spread my wings, and FLY
