Meeting Poem by Ramakrushna Sahu

The meeting is fixed
Without prior notice
Totally unknown when and where
But the message has been sent
That it is fixed

Any day any moment
The door will be knocked
And you will be called for
To meet someone for whom
You are searching for lives together

You must remain present
And alert with ears open
To hear the knocking at the door
And eyes open to recognise
That whether
It is the same person or not
For whom you are searching
and waiting for

Each and every moment
You must remain present
To meet your love
Once the chance is missed
You have to wait for life another

You will be surprised to know
That the meeting is fixed
Here and now
And at each and every moment
And yet
The meeting is not cancelled
But being postponed for ever
Because you are neither present
Nor at present
But lost searching your love
Either in the past or in the future.
