Collaborating with Shakespeare

Shakespeare

Priya

“All the world’s

a stage,

And all the

men and women

merely players;

They have their

exits and their

entrances;

And one man

in his time

plays many parts,”

I agree! Today, the stage

is set for me

In this sea

of humanity,

Full of pain

and beauty.

My name is

Priya.

“What is in a name?

That which we call

a rose by any other name

would smell as sweet,”

A name is a beginning,

A destiny unfolding,

A soul transforming,

And my journey

has begun.

Life for me is

A rainbow

of joy and pain,

What is life

for you?

“Life’s but a

walking shadow,

a poor player

That struts and

frets his hour

upon the stage

And then is

heard no more.”

True! But it’s this

that gives

life beauty.

The flaws!

The unpredictability!

Like a candle

burning bright,

Still remembered

when gone,

A Light merging

with Endless Light.

Anyway, do you

have

a final advice?

“Love all, trust a few

Do wrong to none

This above all:

to thine own self be true,

And it must follow,

as the night the day,

Thou canst not then

be false to any man.

Farewell: my blessing

season this in thee!”

Author’s Note: Shakespeare’s lines are taken from his plays like Macbeth, All’s Well That Ends Well, Hamlet, As You Like It, and Romeo and Juliet. This piece required a lot of creativity and brainstorming. If you liked it, consider buying me a coffee. It would genuinely mean a lot!
