On a fine Thursday morning,

My soul decides to take the leap.

A leap which requires utmost courage,

For i have been stuck in a dilemma;

Of choosing to share my Art, my Muse,

My inspiration with the world and,

keeping it to myself like a sad depressed lady

in her desolate mansion,

succumbing to her inner wounds;

With a fine wine and a black cat,

Breathing the air of the Victorian times.

But i'm finally sweeping the floor,

Setting up the stage.

Keeping the props ready,

On each corner where my creations lay untouched;

I am making sure, the first show goes perfect.

Although the manner of how it'll be perceived,

Remains at your discretion, always.

So, am setting the stage before the curtains are raised;

Because my first show, is in a few days.
