Play

-
Another year ticks by,
Like a child lost in his game,
I play on unhurried,
Unmindful of time.

The more I play,
The more I lose myself in play,
The more I find the child at play,
The more I love the play.

I look for a steady playmate.
Is a playmate necessary?
Does this play allow playmates?
Do playmates play well?

As years go by I see plays within play,
So wonderfully fascinating, so absorbing,
Transfixed, I play on unhurried,
Unmindful of time.
