SOMETHING I LOOK AT-3
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY
I search for it
In the lost paradise
In the solitary confinement of Taj
In the tears of Sahajahan
And in all
That is beautiful and scintillating
I search for it
in meadows and mountains
in poverty and affluence
in hopes and despair
It eludes my grasp
For it is a feeling
A feeling of completeness
One has after being
Completely becoming one's
Letting and forgetting the world around
A glimpse of it
One can have
After emptying oneself
When every beat of heart
Throbs for it
Every drop of blood
Flows for it
For the sake of it
One can live and die
For it is so fulfilling and enriching
Makes life a paradise on earth
To have it
One has to have
A pair of eyes
That only sees it
A loving heart
That only feels it
And a simple mind
That only reciprocates it.
Something
Everyone relishes
But few have it
For platonic love
Is hardly realised
