Before I Leave The Stage
Before I leave the stage
I will sing the only song
I was meant truly to sing.
It is the song
of I AM.
Yes: I am Me
&
You.
WE ARE.
I love Us with every drop
of our blood
every atom of our cells
our waving particles
-undaunted flags of our Being-
neither here nor there.
Alice Walker
Commentary:
In Alice Walker Before I leave the stage she uses the connection of leaving the stage as leaving earth. She contrast these two to metaphorically bring them together. Before leaving a stage there is always something final thing that someone would like to accomplish before exiting.
