THE ONE THOUSAND SHAPES OF THEATRE (An Orbit of Myths of the Changing Stories Child)

Once upon a time a Rare Bird dropped a bundle at my door labeled FRANCE.
With excitement, I rushed and untied the bow
just in time to find inside an infant first opening her eyes.
I picked her up in my arms and began to carry her with a new hope.
"She would learn the wisdom of the ages.
She would become a fine girl and mature as a beautiful woman.
I wish her many grand colorful inspirations."

When situations pressed me, when I experienced hardships,
I retraced my life's story carefully..."what do I see?"
I ask, "Am I too old, or tired? Maybe, unsure afterall?
She depends on me!"
The better views contrasted with bitter news, told me, "trust",
you will find the answers.
She will have an immortal life.
But"How?"...and, "Who is her father?"

I asked all around; inside my mind, into the memories.
Possibly he was one of several acquaintences.
"Which Lifetime?" Yet, when confronted,
each of these men denied this possibility.
I could see streams of truth, reflections in their loves,
falling down their cheeks.
However, I also knew she was not My Child.
"Was this an imagination?" Perhaps.
Which is which?

Then I woke from the dream...with God's arms surrounding me,
cradled in a forest of softened bamboo trees.
Their stalks were bent into a boat which moved
without oar or sails, certain of its journey.
In a growing Friendship, by nights we flew,
by days we collected preparations for our expected meeting
with the ones who would inform our destiny.
Seven years transpired. And seven times seven.
A great kind dependable wind lifted us along
always bettering conditions as we travelled through
loops and across boundaries.
Time slipped by, melting into the sea foam,
washing away in seasonal snow blankets rolled out into the sun.
Now, she walks and speaks in small sentences.
She applauds life with abundant thunder.
She plays endless hours where the fields of color spread.
Creation draws her life into dancing figures
and love stories that are the mystery of her
many changing names.
