There is a Field
Where Nothing grows
Where in it, All
Is fully grown
There You and I
Can never meet
Pretending We
Are not complete
And in this field
Is played a game
And in this game
Is made a name
It all sounds simple
Does it not
Yet those who play
Will never stop
For once begun
We fear the end
And to the death
Our name defend
Some call it Love
Some use Compassion
Krishna, Allah
Or what’s in fashion
|
If “Merry Christmas”
Is not my greeting
But something else
Just as fleeting
Would you rebuke
And slam the door
Or send in troops
And go to war
It’s just a game
It should be fun
We play as if
It could be won
It’s not the words
It’s not the game
Not You or I
And not a name
It’s just a Field
Where Nothing grows
For in it, All
Is fully grown
There You and I
Don’t need to meet
For We here, now
Are most Complete
