A beam of light
shines onto the stage
A solo artiste performs
mimes in dance
gestures expressive
The art of silence
Audience bursts into laughter.
~
The spotlight beamed
brighter than before
Suddenly – silence
The mood of the artiste
changed
the artiste mimed
in a dramatic way
The message
loud and clear.
~
Emotions stirred
Hearts touched
Everyone has the capacity
to appreciate one another
Try a little kindness
It goes a long way.

Glad that you felt that way with the poem, Michelle. Mime is also a form of the expressive Arts. It is quite interesting how actors communicate with their audience through the art of miming. Here they catch one’s attention as it is all performed using gestures. Appreciate your interest and thank you for your comment. Have a lovely evening … ❤
