Education Poem by Gajanan Mishra

This stone has given me this education
I told it go and go as a stone
And I am dying not being a stone.

This stone made me hear a song
And this stone made me hear the sky
And the sky and in between I inquired
About the destiny of stars by
Sitting on this stone.

I have seen this stone
In the middle of this field
I have seen under the mango tree
I have seen on this full moon day
And I know for this stone
Here is my house, here is my world.

We should not displace this stone
My dear, I know, from the very beginning
This stone has kept me here
And I fled away with the stone
Covering seven oceans and thirteen rivers
Where neither I exist nor anybody and nothing
Is there and nothing nothing.
