Opinion

“Thunder only happens

When it’s raining...

Now here I go again

I see the crystal visions

I keep my visions

To myself...”

Memorial Library

Entrance courtyard

Thronged agendas

Players enacting

Phantasy Pharaonic “Dreams”.

Shakespearean tragi-comedy

in a pop-up Globe

Trumpets blare

Armies rally

Battle commences

Ebb and flow.

Costumes bedazzle

Motley uniform

Joseph’s techni-colour

dream-coat

Babel towers

Floods of sound

Dante’s “Paradisio”.

Spectators/authorities mingle

Lame, halt and blind

Front-stage Christians

Launch into “Dreams”

Rear-stage Rainbows

Harmonise sweet refrain.

Crowd starts joining

Smiling dance moves

Contagion spreads

“Sun pours down like honey”

Magic happens

Stevie’s vision-true.

“The Battles Rages On”

Until “Closing Time”

The Queens emerge

Awesome — statuesque

Wal Footrot smiles

Adored by his Dog.

Perhaps we will make it

“Back to the Garden” . . .
