A Look -407 Poem by Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

A LOOK-407

The only thing
that stands between you
and the beauty of life
is your ego.

Get over it,
and the whole world
will slowly open its doors to you.

A heart made light can hold the sky.

And strangely, what we fight outside
often begins within.

The only thing
that makes your life
a burning cauldron
is jealousy.

Coupled with anger and malice,
it turns even a quiet mind
into a house of unrest.

Yet the moment you rise above them,
even ordinary mornings begin to shine.

Go beyond it, and you will see
how beautiful life truly is.

And perhaps life was waiting all along
for your heart to grow quiet enough to see it.
