Actor’s Prayer

This Stage; This sacred space whereon I stand,

This Play; Where Tear and Laugh join hand with hand,

This Tale; With which our Hearts we strive to touch

Your Spirit; Hark to Joy and Cry with us.

O Stage; Allow my humble Heart to Shine

It’s Light; Connecting what I see with thine,

O Watch; The world without is turning still,

But here, Suspend belief to feel our Will.

O Muse; Within our Breasts instill your Soul,

O Muse; Let perfect Light match perfect Role,

So Come; The Audience without us waits,

Our Masks; Bestow with Heart and proper Grace:

This Stage; This sacred space whereon I stand,

Come Forth, upon this Altar place thy Hand.
