A LOOK AT LIFE -100
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

VENOMOUS SNAKE

Amidst smile and tears
Ifs and buts
Swings life
A tog of war
Between mind and conscience

Sometimes shade
Sometimes light
Sometimes hope
Sometimes despair
But life is not either
Moves on its own
Leaving aside
Your moments of happiness and sorrow

Life is beautiful
But how transient is its beauty
How fleeting the scenario
You just don't know how will be your tomorrow
Without knowing what is in store
You weave dreams and plan for years
Knowing well
The moment next may not be yours
Without brooding over yesterday and
Thinking about tomorrow
Live in the present
Which is all yours
Life is nothing but the moment at hand
Live it with all your heart

Life is an encounter
With a venomous snake
Charming and captivating
It keeps you spellbound
Keeps you at a fix
Never let you know
How it will react next?

Life is no mathematics
It knows no law
It never differentiates
Between young and old, rich and poor
Defies all calculation
But life is life
Despite its uncertainty
Is worth living
To be loved and lived
With dreams and passion
Irrespective of the outcome.

Life is poignantly beautiful
Parting from the ones you loved
Things you called your own
Things you relished over the years
How sad and pathetic
The final departure
That unknown lane
Very few enjoy dying
Know not whether it is the best
Or worst part of life
