SOMETHING I LOOK AT-227
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

DAYS AFTER-23

Are you worried 
Thinking that your best days 
Are in the womb of the past 
Are  you feeling  insecure and disturbed 
Coz you know not what is in store 

Are you feeling sad and pathetic
Expecting the worst to come
Do you feel sorry foreseeing 
Your dependence upon others
As your think your body and mind 
Are not responding anymore 

Are you feeling disturbed 
Thinking that your years ahead  are numbered 
Fail to concentrate and feel out of the game 
Fearing that your end is very near

My friend!
You may be in your sixties or seventies 
No matter, let me know 
How many years you have lived for yourself
How much time you have spent 
On your love and passion?
It may be hardly a few days, months or years 
Your entire life might have been consumed
By anxieties and tensions 
In grooming and satisfying others 
Or in pursuit of meaningless endeavours 

Tell me at what point of time 
Your future was under your control and
You were pretty  sure about your tomorrow 
Let me know 
When you were absolutely independent 
Not depending upon others at all

Come on my friend! be yourself 
If you take the quality of life into account 
The time left with you
May be  more than the time spent 
Be your priority and on something 
Which is to your liking 
Be with your love and passion
The time remaining will be much more
Than the time spent for nothing at all
