A LOOK AT LIFE-153
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Still thinking about the time
the precious time
I wasted for nothing.
Thinking about them
once close to me
now nowhere near the horizon.

Thinking about my loved ones 
who took the juice of my life 
to whom now I mean nothing.
Silently brooding over 
the relationships I cultivated 
that never stood the test of time.

Thinking about the moments
I lost to satisfy a few 
for whom I squandered health, wealth and time
who ran away 
at the first opportunity.
Time mocks at me
I miserably failed to make sense of it

One by one
they moved away
leaving me to think about time
which was once mine.
Life laughs at me  
at my miserable plight
the abyss where I am in 

I often ask me
where I erred.
"You never valued yourself  at any point
never cared for the moments 
that came your way"
is the answer of time
to my poignant tragedy.
