this is where the scenery fades
the fabric falls away
the adornments drop, unclasped
the paint runs down the sink
this is where real life
drowns out the music,
upstages the acting,
thunders over the applause
this is where the pretending stops
where the lighting
dares you to get comfortable
and the kidgloves come off
yet this place is a safe place
for revealing scars
for smoothing calluses
and mending hearts and fences
this house
is your home
this life
is your castle
dwell in it richly
