Day After-2 Poem by Smrui Ranjan Mohanty

And after

DAYS AFTER-2(Retirement)

During the pandemic
Was at home for days and weeks
But never felt the pangs of separation
There was always hope for a reunion
Now it has been just a couple of days
But it seems as if since years
We have not met

The body is somewhere
Somewhere else the heart and mind
Life is moving ahead
Leaving the soul far behind

Everything as usual
The sun rising in the east
Wind blowing with its rhythm and rhyme
Flowers blooming with all their colours
Neither I see nor feel any of these
Probably I have closed my eyes to the reality

Life is beautiful
Nothing like it
We make it poignant
Coz we except too much out of it
We enter into relationships
That becomes the reason for our mourning

I know
I have to come out of this
To bring life back on track
However beautiful the past may be
The present is my reality
And I have to live with it
