Bimal Kishore Shrivastwa
How agonizing it is
to remain aloof,
like a forsaken tree in a field,
distanced from the solicitous society,
and affectionate family,
disconnected from the mainstream acts,
and hearing some addressing you
“Black sheep”, “Unsociable”!
But when you respond to the solicitors
with a fruit of meditation, contemplation,
a creative product
don’t you feel gratified?
