She stood reverently,
bowing her head,
hoping to find herself,
there was no-one around,
and that was what she wanted.
She began to walk,
trying to stay focused,
but what was the point?
But then she knew,
she must do this,
that beautiful
nunnery.

I think this must be a very peaceful and focused life.
Which oddly reminds me … there’s a condition called “Nun’s Knees” aka prepatellar bursitis — and the kneecap swells from repetitive kneeling. Occupational hazard.

Fortunately I have never been a nun. Just visiting an amazing cathedral.
(nun’s knees – I’ll remember that!)

This is a soul stirring poem which amalgamates the urge for inner quest with the architectural wonder of the place of worship – a nunnery
