Play of That Only


Play of That Only

Play of divine is creating of rules –

Chips’ understanding is here handicapped:

Masters are fond of perfecting their tools,

Keeping in mystery where they’re kept.

 

Not blunt instructions they ever prefer

But of approaches caress mild:

This is the way how all who care for

Potence reveal, seeming weakness despite…

 

Freedom in play – variations in rules

Hidden, combining their natures, within

Range demonstrates, though the players in use

Honey-experience are guarding with sting.

 

Hives not for those who fill them are built,

Difficult is to imagine the aim:

Just elevated as if through the guilt

Is every fake of a true diadem…

 

But every crown is a symbol not more,

Playful connection of rules in the world:

Starting or ending in it to adore,

New interchanging unseen with the old.

 

Diving – like soaring: don’t only mix

Their elementals in action and phrase,

For truly high only those are peaks

That only winds and abysses can praise!..
