I cannot give up <br />What is mine <br />Likewise I cannot <br />Give up what is <br />Not mine. <br />What is mine and <br />What is not mine <br />That I know not <br />But I am like the fire <br />And I cannot give up <br />My heat and my light. <br />I am a poet <br />I cannot give up <br />My writing poems. <br />But it is good <br />To give up attachment <br />And desire for rewards <br />For these poems. <br />Attachment is the only <br />Obstacle to truth <br />That is poetic sensibility. <br />Aim of my life should be <br />To compose a perfect poem, <br />And a perfect poem is <br />Not a matter to give up <br />Or not to give up.<br /><br />gajanan mishra<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-cannot-give-up/
