Backgammon

As the black and white pawns dance on the board to the beat of the dice,  So do the players gaze,  shifting from pawn to pawn, imagining the infinite moves each can make,  to undo their opponent's strategy.  With every drunken spin of the dice, the pawns travel ever closer to their home, transcending the board on which they dance.  Can you see the Lover's path in this tavern game? We are but pawns in this game,  Like intoxicated lovers dancing across the world towards the Beloved, with the wine of the Saqi guiding our steps, an infinite universes can decide our fate.  In the eyes of the pawn,  there are no winners and losers,  we all end up in union with the Beloved, when one game is up,  yet another game begins!
