In the quiet corners of my life, where the threads of passion intertwine, poetry and songwriting dance in tandem. Among them, "Only Pray By Me" stands as a poignant melody, a composition born from the depths of my soul, dedicated to the memory of my late girlfriend, whom I once rescued from the peril of an oncoming tragedy. The chords echo the gratitude that words alone cannot express.
Yet, there is another canvas where my passions unfurl—the stage of a theater group that found its roots within the sacred walls of a church. With creativity as my guiding star, I birthed this ensemble, crafting narratives that transcend the boundaries of the ordinary. The stage became a sanctuary, a realm where emotions found refuge and stories unfolded like sacred hymns.
In the chapters of my life, these passions intertwine, each verse and act a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the profound impact of art on our journey.
Within the sacred enclave of our church, the theater group, named "Ethereal Acts," emerged as a testament to the transformative power of art. Our rehearsals were imbued with a sense of camaraderie, and the stage became a realm where ordinary individuals metamorphosed into characters of profound depth.
As we delved into the world of storytelling, the church's walls echoed with the laughter, tears, and applause of our audience. One particular play, "Whispers of Grace," unfolded as a poignant exploration of faith, love, and redemption. The stage became a bridge between the ethereal and the earthly, transcending the confines of religious doctrine to touch the hearts of all who witnessed our performances.
Amidst the applause and the curtain calls, the echoes of "Only Pray By Me" lingered, connecting the realms of music and theater. The haunting notes of the composition became the backdrop for some of our most powerful scenes, weaving a symphony of emotions that resonated with the audience's collective heart.
As the founder and director of Ethereal Acts, I found purpose in nurturing the talents of the ensemble, guiding them through the intricate dance of script and emotion. Each rehearsal, each performance, was a testament to the beauty that emerges when creativity and spirituality intertwine.

From the verses of poetry to the spotlight on stage, my creative endeavors had become a vessel for connection, understanding, and the timeless pursuit of grace in all its forms.
As the seasons changed and Ethereal Acts continued to flourish, a new chapter unfolded in the form of an ambitious production titled "Harmony Unveiled." This collaborative endeavor seamlessly intertwined my love for poetry, music, and theater. The script, a poetic tapestry woven with the essence of my verses, became the backbone of a musical that echoed the stories of love, loss, and rediscovery.
"Only Pray By Me" found its place once again, not merely as a song but as a leitmotif that threaded through the narrative, connecting characters and emotions in a delicate web of sound and sentiment.
