Where Is The River? Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Where is the river?
And what do you mean by the river?
No flow of water in the river,
And still, we are charmed by the river.

Are we not the river with flow of
Blood-water here in this body?
And what does it mean you may ask me
And get the answer you want here.

But be sure, the answer
Would not satisfy you and
You would not agree with the terms
And conditions that are there
In the livelihood of the senses
And that is with your statue.

The river is not interested
To conquer anything anywhere
But it is there to flows
In the normal course of time.

Time, as we understood is there
To assimilate our body and soul
Phase by phase during flow like
A live-river in purified form.

The river is within us,
We are the rivers while flowing,
Our very form is changing
From top to bottom and vice versa.
