A Traveller's Note Poem by Ramakrushna Sahu

I don't take anything as mine
The pain and the pleasure
Even the luxury and the poverty
Of the body and mind
I am only a visitor here
Everything is served to me
Just for a taste of it

I enjoy, I suffer
I am pleased to have experience
Of both the opposites
Neither I impose
Nor I am possessed by anyone
I am a lover of freedom
Even of death

I am not a dweller but a traveller
I neither oppose nor propose
I love relationship
But not the bondage of a home

I am called to leave
Living fully the time and space
Given in a lease for a short period
And that I understand as life.
