    The poet dreams of a stoic face appearing before him, smiling and staring deeply. When the poet asks "Who are you?", the figure replies by asking "What are you?". The poet responds that he is a body with a mind to secure needs, compelling the body to act. The figure says it encamps in the body but is not the body, changing it when needed, and to know it one must search for grace. The dream then ends as the poet's mind becomes busy with the day's tasks.

    What are you?

    Ramendra Bhattacharya

    Dreamt in my deep sleep,


    A stoic face appeared out of nought;
    Smiling with mindful sight
    Staring deeply at me keeps.

    I ask him "Who are you, so kind?"


    Silently he smiles fixing sight to my mind;
    And replies asking, "What are you?"

    I say, why - I am a body


    Mind helps securing mundane needs
    Compels its fond retinue to go ahead
    Body being shriveled that does its deed.

    The form says "I encamped in body,


    But not a body, I change it when it serves badly
    To know me if you want
    Search me to have grace fondly".

    My dream comes to an end


    Mind becomes busy with day's errand
    And connotates the dreams trend.

    - Ramendra Kumar Bhattacharjee
