SOMETHING I LOOK AT-5
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY 

Life is spent
in dreaming and dreaming,
only a few being realised 
making life a pathetic reality. 

Life is not shattered dreams,
lost love, unforgotten​ past and deep melancholy.

We miss life
We miss those moments,
the tiny loves and small gestures 

We miss those things,
seemingly insignificant,
the smile on a child's lips.
his trifling demands and naughty looks

Life unfolds itself.
Sun shines, the river flows, 
flower blossoms.
Life manifests its beauty.

We do not see it 
We have a pair of jaundiced eyes,
which only mirrors our self,
our agony and apathy

Life is not shattered dreams,
battered past,
romantic nihilism, or
a burnt cigarette in the ashtray

Life  is complete,
each moment of which,
to be lived and relished.
