 A LOOK AT LIFE-161

BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY


Life is both

smile and tears,

happiness and sorrow,

hope and despair,

virtue and vices 

but not a solitary asylum  in a no man's land

to be silently crused and endured 


Life is both

meeting and parting,

love and separation,

involvement and alienation,

agony and ecstasy,

accomplishment and failure.

Be with it, its ebb and tide

before it fades into nothing 


Life is a beautiful poem 

if you know how to compose it.

Life is a lyric if you know how to sing it

Life is a paradise if you have the eyes to see it

Life is the voice of the nightingale 

if you have the ears to listen it.

If you run away from it

it becomes prosaic.

The more you unfold its pages,

the more you feel frustrated.

Be a passionate lover, 

life may leave you lifeless and 

you may land yourself in a dry desert

devoid of beauty and fragrance.


The biggest tragedy is not dying 

but dying while still alive.

Live with love and passion 

feelings and emotion,

zeal and aspiration.

Have your moments,

good and bad.

Enjoy and endure.

Despite of all its uncertainties 

life is so beautiful, so fascinating 

a god's dream 

to be lived and relished 

till the last beat

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
