The Only Game in Town

Driving down the road I thought, for the first time, “Not me, but you.”

I tried to look with my eyes for God, so that God might see this beautiful evening. “Perhaps this is a gift that I can give and that He can enjoy as a token of love.”

And suddenly the road became a magical river.
I saw the things that I have longed to see.
All of the same things but alive, flowing,
constantly changing and always intriguing.

Can this be right,
that I can simply give this gift to God and receive what I want?
There is a trick I think.
Was not the real gift the love that made me want to give,
and the vision I found so appealing
a token of love,
and a confirmation.

Hmmm…….God’s reciprication?
God might give me rough handling for my love
for nothing can benefit me more.
Nothing can bring me closer.

Love, is quite a dangerous game,
but it is the only game in town.
