A LOOK AT LIFE-113
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

   FROM NOTHING TO NOTHING

I know not
Why I sometimes feel
Life is pain infinite 
Searching for something none  existing 
An exercise futile 
A venture sad and pathetic 

I do not know 
Why sometimes I think
Life is a misadventure 
Never understood 
A foregone conclusion 
Accepted as a sad reality 
A journey in the void 
An endeavour wasted 

I know not
What lets me live
When I know I am living for nothing
With nothing to accomplish 
Why I am living in a relationship 
When all relationships are for a period of time
Either they will leave me 
Or I will leave them
Adding more sorrow and misery 
To an already miserable life.
Probably life is waiting for that dark night
After which there will be no sunshine 

I have seen them leaving me one by one
My father, my grandfather, 
My friends young and old and all
Who loved  me and whom I loved
They lived, endured and left 
With tears in eyes and desires unfulfilled 
Hopes shattered and dreams unrealised 
Behind their smile, I have seen their tears 
Apathy and frustration 
A life lived under the shadow of death.
I witnessed all these as a mute spectator
I often ask me
Is life a poignant tragedy 

I ask me
Am I living for that pathetic reality?
The great departure 
To leave the game when I am fully engrossed.
Life is less smile and more of tears 
Happiness is a little breather 
Where sorrow is one's constant companion
Then why I am here
When nothing seems to be in my favour

Am I here
Is it because of some compulsion 
An accident or something else
I do not know
I do not understand 
Why so much suffering and planing in  the present 
For a future never in vision 
When one does not know
Whether there is any tomorrow 

I do not know
How I am rejoicing and 
Relishing the present 
Knowing well 
I am heading towards a dead end
Beyond which there is only darkness.

What is that life
Where death looms large
One does not know 
How and when it will come 
In the grip of death 
I strive for that nothing 
Which keeps me going 
In the midst of grief and agony 
I breathe and live for nothing
I love and die for that nothing
Life is a journey from nothing to nothing 

I know not 
Why sometimes I feel
Life is God's blessing
Captivating and worth living 
I respect and adore it
Lose me in its spellbinding beauty
But sometimes I feel
If it is an accident and
I regret being here for nothing.
