Baseball!
God’s game
invented from His fantasy of image-Love pure
Diamond-perfect,
chiseled rules, absolute fairness sure
Green emerald
under sky-cerulean clouds stark-white
Red, white, blue
unfurled waves most patriotic sight
Roster players,
batting order, starting pitcher, strategy plans
Replete with
cheering myriad fans overflowing stadium stands
Fair lines
chalked, white bases staked, home plate brushed, umpires assigned
Manager,
coaches, bat boy, too, the game complete designed, refined, resigned
All such
conception only to prepare “First pitch” for this “game’s” inception
Each contest
image by His purpose reflects one
human life in introspection
“Let life’s game
begin!” In earnest-sacred if ye muster courage dare
Challenge-play
within contest rules; keep the ball in play---Fair!
Plot and plan
and play-the-game, swing for the fences, tingle
Get on base for
fun, hit by a pitch, a walk or even just a single
Develop love for
baseball time-space into a lifelong passion-pleasure
Intuitive-sense
nuance-subtle life-game comparison fashion-treasure
Create a move to
make these simple events grand adventure compulsion
Learn like a school-child
open-minded; authority respect; avoid expulsion
Entertain all
spectators with talent-filled expended love-energy
Experience ebb
and flow of gifted life’s awesome wondrous synergy
Excitement! Tied game!
Bottom of 9th! Runner on 3rd! A bunt! The old “Suicide squeeze”!
A swirling cloud
of dust at home! Umpire’s “Safe!” or “Out!” sure to distress or Please!
Within His infinite wisdom-love born
simple-comfort baseball game
Life be a
microcosm experiment of excitement conflagration flame
Through His will bestowed humble I enough time
to life-play in space
When simple I
have come and been and gone along consign me ashes
to His sacred baseball diamond humble
life-place
Amen!
One final
thought: Whether hits or runs or errors---Please!...
“Play ball!”
