A LOOK AT LIFE-64 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY DEATH A MENTAL STATE When it seems all over Life sprouts From the ashes of the past once more Only you need a bit of silence to feel it A bit of science, a bit of art to realise it A pair of eyes to see it, acknowledge Its never-ending beauty and grandeur A pair of ears to listen to the symphony of life And lose yourself in its music forever Look around Where is death? It is only life everywhere Life and its changing colours Each more bright and beautiful than the other Atoms and molecules bubbling with vitality Energy in various forms Subtle vibrations Electrons orbiting around the nucleus Even what you call death Is life in another form Death is more a state of mind Than a physical phenomenon One who has not seen life in death Has never lived his life. It depends on how you define life It is an urge to expand, manifest, unfold, Contract and expand To keep pace with change and maintain Its existence under all circumstance It is an urge to live and transform That differentiates living from the dead When you lose that urge You are dead when still alive Other than this there is no other death Where one is completely annihilated Without becoming anything else. Keep that urge alive That will never let you die You will see the beauty of life in death It is just a transition to take you from One state of consciousness to another From one station to the other On the eternal journey of life With a vibrant body and new lease of life Smruti Ranjan Mohanty ©Smruti Ranjan mohanty #findyourself A LOOK AT LIFE-64 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY DEATH A MENTAL STATE When it seems all over Life sprouts From the ashes of the past once more
