Something I Look At - 83 Poem by Smrui Ranjan Mohanty

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-83
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

faraway from this world and
its fascinating corridor
pelf and power
beauty and grandeur
lives my friend in a remote corner

poor in wealth and intellect but
lives a life full and contented
modest are his possessions
fewer are his demands
dreams and aspirations
accepts life as it comes
things as they are
never grumbles
never hesitates to express himself
and jumps like a kid
when his petty wishes are on the way

begins his day with a smile on face
and hymn in the air
retires to bed with a mind
lively and fresh
free from worries and anxieties
at the feet of the almighty

ienvy the life he leads
in lap of nature and close to divinity
the way he spends his time
interacts with his better half and kids
the simplicity with
which he goes on with life
without having an ounce of hypocrisy

his world is small
but fascinating
fully drenched with the colours
of life and its natural beauty
