A LOOK AT LIFE-64

 A LOOK AT LIFE-64

BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

    DEATH A MENTAL STATE

When it seems all over 

Life sprouts

From the ashes of the past once more 

Only you need a bit of silence to feel it

A bit of science, a bit of art to realise it

A pair of eyes to see it,  acknowledge

 Its never-ending beauty and grandeur 

A pair of ears to listen to the symphony of life 

And lose yourself in its music forever 

Look around

Where is death?

It is only life everywhere 

Life and its changing colours 

Each more bright and beautiful than the other

Atoms and molecules bubbling with vitality 

Energy in various forms

Subtle vibrations

Electrons orbiting around the nucleus 

Even what you call death 

Is life in another form 

Death is more a state of mind

Than a physical phenomenon 

One who has not seen life in death

Has never lived his life.

It depends on how you define life

It is an urge to expand, manifest, unfold,

Contract and expand 

To keep pace with change and maintain

 Its existence under all circumstance 

It is an urge to live and transform 

That differentiates living from the dead 

When you lose that urge

You are dead when still alive

Other than this there is no other death

Where one is completely annihilated 

Without becoming anything else.

Keep that urge alive

That will never let you die

You will see the beauty of life in death

It is  just a transition to take you from

One state of consciousness to another

From one station to the other

On the eternal journey of life 

With a vibrant body and new lease of life
