A Lure For The Spotlight Poem by David Harris
A Lure For The Spotlight
A lure for the spotlight
lies in everyone somewhere.
At some point in our lives,
everyone wants the centre stage
and have the spotlight on them.
Some just dream about it
to pass the time away,
other have a natural gift
and in the spotlight stay.
When the spotlight shines on you
scrutinizing everything you do,
you want it to go away.
You want your life
to go back to the way it was.
However, when the spotlight
has been on you
it will never leave you alone.
It will be with you
for the rest of your days.

This poem that can be taken either literally (theatrically perhaps) or metaphorically. Speaking as an actor, I have never lost my love of the spotlight. You learn to 'feel' for the light on stage - it's almost like a spiritual search - and the intensity of the light somehow mirrors the intensity of the performance. At another level entirely, I suppose Big Brother is the ultimate 'spotlight' experience - what a hideous thought! Interesting idea, written with your usual easy flow. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
We all crave the spotlight has you say, each in our own way, I was here and I left my mark on history when my time is over and have faded away... Andy 10
