He Is A Poet Poem by Gajanan Mishra

He is a poet-
Ramakanta Rath.
And I find him
Everywhere in
Water, in air,
In the sky
And on this earth.
Ramakanta Rath is
Busy always
To bring light.
Where is the light?
And where is
Ramakanta Rath?
I wonder and
Wonder.
Ramakanta Rath
Came to me
Last night
In my dream
But said nothing.
Ramakanta Rath
Was in terrible hunger,
Ramakanta Rath
Was crying.
But the night
With its marble words
Kept him in safe-custody.
I wander here, there,
But Ramakanta Rath
Was not there
But he is here
As you see in words
That are not ours.
