SOMETHING I LOOK AT-205
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

DAY AFTER-1

I woke up to the alarm 
Telling me with a disdainful smile 
Man! why are you in a hurry 
Now you have all the time in the world 
Live as you wish 

Not a lazy morning it was 
Did everything I am accustomed to 
Tried to concentrate on meditation 
But my mind was not with me 
It was somewhere else 
Interacting with familiar faces 
In the distant horizon

Not so easy to come out of the hangover 
And accept the present as it is 
Difficult to be in the current 
With your mind resting in the past 
Very tough to come out of the habits 
Which have been ingrained 
And with you for years and days 

Money has never been an issue 
Nor lure of chair 
Know not what I miss 
Why am I not at peace 
Though I am with my family 
My trusted friends, plants, pets and poetry
Do I miss the beauty of human relationships 
I often ask myself the question?

Just made a beginning 
To gather me to live the rest of my life 
I know time will heal 
Though it may not fill 
The void will remain 
But life will move on 
Leaving moments 
Of happiness and sorrow far behind
