Words lived - a poem

                                                 In the process of writing a book
                                                         full of  words which
                                                     the nuns in the convent
                                                   taught me many years back
                                                    lessons which I forgot then,
                                                   but are surprisingly  fresh now
                                                         I think of the words
                                           of  loyalty, responsibility, commitment
                               heavy words and to lessen the sombreness of the words
                                                                I smile
                                         my muscles stretch in directions unexplored
                                                         and so I stop smiling
                                                   and go back to the thinking
                            and now it becomes clear why I forgot all those lessons then
                                    because I would have to live those words
                                 each second, each moment, each hour, each day
                                      and when , blasphemy, I dared to turn away
                                                    from those heavy words
                                             brought back like an errant child
                                                   I am writing a book
                                                         of words lived

    1. Yes it is - the only problem being that by the time one has learnt all it is too late...
