The opera

As I sat there watching and listening to the opera, I realized that life, in part, is much the same... and yet, not a scripted part for one to play. Each scene different from the other we continue on this journey with an audience looking on. Death is often depicted in an opera but doth occur in life. The curtain closes at the final scene and in a moment opens again. And he who was thought to be dead reappears and takes a bow!
