A LOOK AT LIFE-17
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY
I do not know
Who are they
Who brought me to this world
And left me all alone
To fight a lone battle
Under the scorching heat of sun
And pears of shower
I do not know
What a mother is
And a father all about
I am far away from the touch of
Human relationships
The lovely bondage of family
And all those that make life
A beauty on earth
Sometimes l look at them
Their fascinating world
And lovely gadgets
The ocean of love
That bathes them
Every now and then
I see
How care free and jubilant
They are
Completely lost
In the perennial stream of love
And delicate care
Dreaming and dreaming all the way
For a still better tomorrow to come by
I never envy
Nor do I regret
The lost childhood
Father's shadow and mother's lap
All do I need and fancy
A bit of your love
A bit of your affection
And a bit of everything you have
For kids of your own
To grow and develop
And make life more bearable
On this brutal earth

Thanks and gratitude to Prof Cijo Joseph Chennelil, an eminent poet and literary critic for writing a beautiful critical appreciation on my poem 'A LOOK AT LIFE-9'.Thank you very much, sir, for your wonderful review Smruti Ranjaniji, Your poem titled"A Look At Life-9" is a poem of spiritually attuned nature bringing forth to us a transcendentalist transformative ideology of life, we human beings do have to pursue in our day to day life. The lives we lead in this world are not meant to simply while away rather we need to ponder over their meanings in a substantial and enormous manner. Sometimes, we must be self-introspective and self-retrospective in terms of our lives, we also need to turn to the path of spirituality to understand the mysteries connected with this world. We must not have the notion that this life on this earth is the end of it rather we have to consider it as a platform to reach the perfect abode that is charted out for us there in heaven. This l...

A Critical Appreciation of My Poem A Look At life-43

Here is the review and critical appreciation of my poem A LOOK AT LIFE-43 by non-other than eminent poet and literary critic of international repute  Prof Cijo Joseph Chennelil. Thanks and gratitude sir. I am greatly honoured Dear Smruti Ranjaniji, Your poem titled"A Look At Life-43" is a poem that combines philosophy, theology, science and psychology in equal measure. Life is an interminable circle passing from one state of being to another state of being, it doesn't have an end unless and until it is reunited with the fundamental point of origin. The world came forth from that inexhaustible arena and it would revert back to it as such in the course of time. Here on this earth life is an unending journey, the destination is not clearly marked at in any stretch of the imagination, the things that we come across in this world are transitory and fleeting in nature and nothing is a permanent feature of life. The structures and wonders of the world are subjected to change onc...

A LOOK AT LIFE-146

 A LOOK AT LiFE-46 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY In that The stone-carved image of yours My whole world. In your temple my holy abode, At your lotus feet my whole life My identity, my possession. My past present and future Is you my maa Comes to mind that day When I was on my way, You dragged me near Looked at me with loving eyes. The infinite became finite And the mother listened to her child, The child went on asking and The mother looking at him with a smile Days went by A feeling deep and intense came I am not alone How can I be? When you are with me. Wherever I go whatever I do I always feel you by my side What to think about me, my life My happiness which are all yours When I look at you I feel you deep inside, My feelings turn into adoration Adoration into love. The more I love you The more I feel alienated From me and my mundane world Lose my identity and Become one with you copyright@smrutiranjan 19.10.2017
