SOMETHING I LOOK AT-242
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Heart & Soul

You are not with your present,
You are not with your future
You are with your love
Where dwell your heart and soul

Your mind is in the past
Hope, you can recreate the moments
Lived and relished long back
Neither your present nor future
Nothing will come in between
You and your days of light and colour.

Not impossible
To become a child
And play with one's fancies and whims
So easy to become young
And feel the rush of youth
In one's artery and vein
You need nothing
But proper mindset
To come out of your predicament

Not difficult
To go down the memory lane
To feel the beauty and warmth of bygone days
To be with life and
Its spellbinding grandeur once again

Close your eyes
Feel the child in you
Dancing under the autumn sky
Playing with pebbles on the seashore
Asking for the moon in the sky
Travel in time
Where you were at your fascinating best
Where life was a dancing rivulet

You have the moon in your palm
Be there where you want to be
See that beauty under the veil
Listen to the sound of anklets
Relive life once again
And have all those moments
Which were yours one day

Dreams can be as real as reality
If your identification is complete
To become a child and youth
Is not as difficult as you think
Be a child and youth
Bid farewell to things you do not relish
And spend time as you like
Be a child at heart, youth in spirit
Your old age will silently vanish
