A Look-363 Poem by Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

A LOOK-363

Your Smile

Your smile speaks little,
but conveys so much—
the pain and agony,
the suffering and distress
hidden behind.

It twinkles like a star in the dark sky,
echoes like a bulbul's song
in a barren desert,
whispering to the world:
there is still hope—
every black night
is followed by a golden dawn.

Your smile wakes me up,
softly murmuring in my ear:
'Man, everything is not over—
get up and see
how beautiful life still is.'

And I smile back,
knowing life still has something in store.
