 A LOOK AT LIFE-87

BY-Smruti Ranjan Mohanty 


            HE


No one was with me

No one is with me

No one will be with me

Except Him at whose lotus feet 

I have surrendered my life.

Karmic debts and deposits 

Sorrow, happiness and anguish 


Over the years 

My love and tears

Longing and relationship 

Had been but marriages of conveniences 

Permutations and combination for a better deal

No one was bad, no one was good

No one my friend, no one my enemy 

Nothing but my priorities

Defined me and my relationships

My relationship was as transitory 

As my passion and  infatuation 

Only for a period of time 

Wilted like night jasmine 


Love, romance, relationship 

Everything has  changed

Everyone faded Including me

But not He who is beyond time

He has been there since the day I am 

His love and concern has never changed

My relationship with Him  is as fresh 

As it was long back when we last met

On the other side of infinity 


My Lord!

I am beaten and betrayed every moment 

But again fall in love forgetting 

What happened yesterday 

My father! you graced me

I could realise the futility of the game

But I am still in the game

Give me the will and strength to come out of it

From illusion to reality

From darkness to light

To be at your feet 

With nothing bothering me from outside

REVIEW OF MY POEM A LOOK AT LIFE-9

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
