For what it is worth

For what it is worth
 
No time like the present, they say.
In fact, per the Mystics,
 
there is no time but the present.
The Eternal Now likened
 
to a still frame in the aperture of a projector,
preceded and followed by
 
a continual series of still frames
that produce the Illusion
 
of motion, space and change,
while answering God’s
 
whimsical query, Who am I?
The answer is thus provided
 
through an illusory witness and experiencer
who escapes (only apparently)
 
the timeless inertia and omnipresence of God’s Original
(per Meher) unconscious state of absolute Oneness.           
 
O child of God, after so many years, still you seek
to explicate the Mystery rather than embrace it.
