Projected Light Upon a Screen

Projected light upon a screen,

Imagined life born from dreams.

A story illuminated in the darkened theater,

Speakers playing music in perfect meter.

I wish to see my name there too,

When the lights come back on,

And the credits roll.

A curious audience member or two,

May pause to see the names before they're gone,

And accredit the storyteller's role,

To the magic they have just seen,

In the projected light upon a screen.
