What Is It? Poem by Bishnupada Sethi

Miles away from your world
I imagine the usual sunrise and sunset
And your rise at dawn,
Before the world rises you are on the road.
An idle man I waited
To see you return back
At dusk in calm easy gait.

I think of you and things around,
The anxieties, expectations and the waiting,
I crave for you,
Wishing your all time presence!
Though today, we are miles apart.

I pinch my body
To know if I am in dreams.
Now I realize,
It is because of your love,
I am drowned deeper in a world of essence
Away for the events around.

Loftier than the Everest,
Deeper than the ocean,
Larger than the sky,
Holier than the God,
Sweeter than the nectar,
Mightier than the typhoon
Is the strength of your love,
Which drifts me
In the direction of truth
From untruth, death and darkness.
