the play must go on!

---

So Stop, & Look and Listen and then Ask,

and Watch the muse at work in play-house* here 

such that folk feel at home so much they bask

in sunlight, like tall trees, when light appears.

And be an ENT (of Tolkien's fairy tales)

not speaking much, but looking, list’ning too,

and trusting bigger, older ones, no fail-

safe plan, but do the best that we can do -

that’s always in cahoot, in partnership,

with maker of ourselves - that spirit of

creative love, that doesn’t ever slip

it keeps the world together. Has no pov-

er-ty at all, just riches more and more;

for ev’ry one, and ev’ry thing alive,

or even “not yet living” but works “for”

the celebration of each bee in hive

or dog in pack, or horse in herd as well, 

or human in their culture, in their world,

where purposes or meanings come from hell,

or hopeful loveliness, as flags unfurled…

The setting of direction is the thing

worth doing and then checking to maintain;

behind the scenes, or outside of each wing

is where much work must go on once again…

so Stop, & Look and Listen and then Ask,

and Watch the muse at work in play-house* here 

such that folk feel at home so much they bask

in sunlight like tall trees, when lights appear.

e* - a play-house, may refer to a) theatre with stage for displaying dramatic productions, b) a children’s “cubby-house”, or tent/wigwam in the back yard, or then other meaning by analogy or symbolism through those.. e.g. “as I live in the tent of this body” & “we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building prepared.., or “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players… ”
