The Theatre

In the grand Theater

Sitting with friends

In the crowd

Some wait quietly

Others jump and shout

We wait for the show

In God's Theater

.

The show begins

Things appear

Out of nothing

They are real

Changing from one state

To another

At the good parts

People rush the stage

In amazement

Stopping the show

Only for a moment

.

An unseen voice

Narrates the

demonstrations

I pay attention

When god talks

.

Flying rings

Levitation

Something for nothing

In god's Theater

.

Then leaving

On a journey

To a mountain top

.

Walking

With the Magic One

.

To talk

About different creatures

And relationships

With the world

He explains

That if you gave

The neighbors dog

Nuclear weapons

He might use them

I laugh

.

We walk back

Down the mountain

To the Theater

I fly the last stretch

To show off

.

Back inside

The same people

And friends

Only

In former lives

Biblical

They know me

But not so clearly

I'm still me

.

The show begins again

But it has changed

To conform

To those days

Those beliefs

To be understood

By the crowd

.
