Written in 2009 when I attended Certificate Course in Playback Theatre , edited later to add new forms learnt
When life is in play
Teach me to act according to your way
When life is a freeze
What opportunity will I seize
When life is a machine
Teach me to make my repetitions fine
Happy even on a production line
When life is a tableau
Teach me to add value to every frame
And be honest not playing any game
When life is a fluid sculpture
Teach me not to rupture
The very fabric of your structure
Since life has no script
Teach me to speak when needed
And to remain silent when not
Life is full of encounters
Conversations that will open my blind
Teach me to open the one's in the mind
Life is full of stories
Some happy, some sad
Teach me to adapt for that I will be glad
Life is full of music
Only if I could hear
Teach me to listen and hum without fear
Life can be a chorus
If we all groove as one
Teach us to be together under the sun
Life can be like playback
If we are sincere and put our hearts out
Teach us to be genuine
When life is in play
Teach me to act according to your way
