June '96

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

Powerful 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

.

In God's Theater
