Spotlight

Underneath the spotlight
I am a creature transformed
At rest at last
Composed and calm
Tranquil for a change
You will see
The frantic funster
Give way
To the herald
Who lives in my heart
And humbled by your attendance
I will share my tales
With all of you
My friends, my kin, my loves
My anchors
To where I belong
Purring platitudes
Quietly
So as not to startle
