your projections of a penny in a deep well

I find that your well

Is full of clear words and

Deep flowing, blue water

No copper.

Deep breath,

Deep down

Actions are what count.

Projections of

A troubled thought

Projections of a doubting point

The well of projections

Finds deeper love

And deeper points

And deeper truths.

Truth in love

Truth in God

Truth in prayer

Projections are for the movies

Films to represent our nature

And nature is in our present

Not our past

It’s in your heart

Not in a penny well,

Or a slanted doorway, broken hinges and set off by fear,

It’s in your very projected action of compassion

And don’t let that blur of the projection reel blind you.
