 A LOOK  AT LIFE-142

BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY


       LET ME


Let me forget

Everything I have learned 

Let me exhaust 

All that I have earned 

Let me forget 

Who I am and where from 

Let me come out of

All relationships and hangovers 

To visualise life in its true colour


Let me begin life once more 

With no past to lean upon 

No future to dream for 

No status to safeguard 

No relations to take care


Let me get out of the cage

Where I have been long since

The social clusters 

Caste, creed and colour 

Religion, dogmas and superstitions 

Pelf, power and accolades 

To be in fresh air 

Where truly breathes life

In the serene oasis


Let me forget my name and identity 

To go beyond me and all 

That put limits 

Pride, anger and  prejudice

Ego, hatred and jealousy 

Let me forget history and geography 

Boundaries and territories 

Myths, parables and collective conscience 

To look at things in proper perspective 


For the first time

Let my eyes see

Ears listen and  heart speak 

Let reasons take a back seat 

Emotions and feelings

Come out in the open

For a change

Let me be a free bird in the blue sky 

To have a romance

With all that I fancy and love.

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
