Is Not A Pious Act Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Is writing poetry
Not a pious act?

For answer
I am not here
To wait.

But I am here
To write and
Write poetry,
And poetry only.

Poetry is a feeling,
Writing is the living
In the heart of time.

And I am trying to
Take the time
Through poetry
Towards love
And the truth.

You may think
What you like
And what you like
You may do.

But I realize
It is all poetry,
Poetry is the rhythm
Of life and time
Together, dear.

Poetry is sinless,
It is only a reflection,
Reflection of the sun
In your heart.

Touch the heart,
And if you are able,
Express yourself,
Any means
You can take.

But dear, go not
Far from the centre,
Focus and embrace
The truth in you.

Be sure,
You are unchained.
