Background : I am taking part in a Certificate Course in Playback Theatre, it is an amazing experience as you get to think, act, innovate three times a week for 3 months. This poem was inspired by a great teacher and a very energetic and innovative class.
(half way thru the course)
Dear Lord,
If life is a play
Teach me to act according to your way
If life is a walk
What pace will I take
What friends will I make
If life is a freeze
What opportunity will I seize
If life is machine
Teach me to make my repetitions fine
Happy even on a production line
If life is a tableau
Teach me to add value in the show
And innovate on my toe
If life is a fluid sculpture
Teach me not to rupture
The very fabric of your structure
If life is a script
Even I have no line I am fine
But if I have one, not my wish but thine
If life is a play
Teach me to act according to your way
