Makings of a Play
by Michelle Goodale

The music starts the motion
The tune sets the mood
The plot makes the scene
Characters add the action
And now the play begins.
One mans love
Another mans gain.
One woman’s heart falls away.
The plot is set,
And will soon end.
In another souls regret
The music stops the motion
The plot now closes
The play now ends
In misery
Yet again
