Two Thousand Seventeen Poem by Gajanan Mishra

What does it mean,2017?
Is it a year?
And why should we
Count the year
From this point?
What has happened
Prior to 2017?
2017 is neither
The ending nor also
The starting point
For anyone anywhere.
We are all in eternity,
Eternal, everything
That is all here.
How can you count
The fire or the air?
How can you count
The sky or the water?
Can you say correctly
The color of the earth?
And for how long
Are they all here?
Are we not part of
All that is so far near?
Press not on two thousand seventeen,
Forget it if you so think
For a while and feel
Free for the time being.
