A fictitious tale

The play was enacted
long since. Garbs
have come off.
Audience has dispersed. Yet,
here I'm, still on the stage,
searching
for something, that
hasn't been lost.

Here,
I 'm the character and the seer.
More.
I'm the fictitious tale
that was lost, when
the two morphed, emerged
as one.
