Poetry, What Is Poetry For You Dubey, If Somebody Asks It? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Poetry,
Poetry,
What is poetry for you Dubey
If somebody questions me,
What shall I
Hearing him,
Keeping mum for a moment,
Pausing to respond
And thinking over,
Poetry,
Poetry,
What is poetry
And that to me,
Me?

Poetry to me
Is aesthetic beauty,
Beauty perceivable,
Truth to be realized
And goodness to be appreciated,
Satyam shivam sundaram
From the Indian point of view
As am an Indian
And my viewpoint Sanskritic and Brahminical
Re-voicing,
Shivoaham shivoaham shivoaham.

My discourse one of Atman and Parmatman,
The transmigration of the soul,
The Soul and the Over soul,
Death and maya,
Karma and dharma,
Yama and the dark night
And the flutter of the bird,
Satya, ahimsa and shantih.
