Days After-15 Poem by Smrui Ranjan Mohanty

And after

DAYS AFTER-15

Living is as much a mental phenomenon
As a physical one
Man lives in the present
So also in his past and future
One lives more in dreams
More with his memory
Than anything else

One recreates and relives
The moments of the past time and again
His mind goes back
To the glorious moments of the bygone days
Where he gets lost in the beauty of the events
Of which he was a part once
His past repeatedly appears
Before his mind's eye and takes him miles away

The dream of future
Keeps one's hope alive
Wipes away his distress and agony
Makes his present more bearable
Assuring better days to come by

Happiness depends upon one's ability
To feel and relive the best moments of his life
The beautiful happenings of yesterday
In visualising a better tomorrow
And getting lost in colourful dreams

The beauty of the past
The ability to recreate the moments
The dreams of a fascinating future
Substantially determine one's present

Happiness is but a state of mind
Depends largely on one's proficiency
To recreate and relive the moments
One cherishes the most
And living in dreams
Feeling these to be part of the reality

Go down the memory lane
Feel your intense moments
Nicest of relationships you ever had
Your past will reincarnate
And you will feel
Its beauty and warmth once again
