Imperfect Metaphors

A wise man
made a metaphor
in which he
imagined
Who We Are,
our I Am,
as a divine
and conscious
movie screen,

upon which
is projected
the Thoughts
and Things
we call our
Life.

His point
being that
Thoughts
and Things
and plots
and scripts
come and go,
but

Who We Are,
our I Am,
is as
eternal
as the
Creator’s
Consciousness,
of which
we are a
seamless
Part.

I was about
to dismiss
this image as
imperfect –
I Am
more than
a screen –

But
I remembered
how much
I love
a good movie.
