How do you respond When the numbers fall outside the lines Of what you thought. Of what you controlled. Of what you planned.
Because.
The Gods don’t care. The Gods roll the dice anyway. They don’t ask if you realise you’re in their game all along. They don’t care. They roll.
Because. You cannot control their throw. You cannot control where the dice land You cannot control the wind Where or how the dice will land And which numbers show themselves to your eyes To your heart.
Because the Gods roll the dice The game they play is love.
In the middle of the game You only choose. You decide. Whether to play along. Whether to follow. Whether to reject the numbers And hope they roll again.
The game, where the love reveals her hand In the roll of a dice, the tumble of the numbers
The game of love Where the Gods roll the dice The dice that cannot be controlled And neither can the Gods
But God. I can make you like I want you to be. But God. You fit my rules. That’s how it works. But God you fit in the boxes nicely Bounded by the rules I have for you Mind rules, anxiety and shame rules That’s where you belong. In my mind, in common sense. Predictable, controlled God Reliable. Functional. Systematic God for the systemised powers.
That’s not how it works. Because it’s not actually working.
The Gods they roll the dice. The God are free. The Gods don’t wait to be asked. The Gods throw, anyway.
The Game of love that transcends all The Game of love that the powers persecute The Game of love that is up to the Gods
The Gods, they roll the dice Freeing Love from the mind Freeing Love from the rules Freeing Love from its cage.
Freeing Love into a dance, Of music, on the stage of everywhere.
The Gods roll the dice. Freeing love into her game So what will you do When the dice, they land And you see And the numbers point their arrows In somehere That you must go
For to play the game of love The rules of the game of Love are, that She will always win.
Surrender to her game, surrender to her numbers
You have a choice, you always do Surrender or make love no place for you.
