SOMETHING I LOOK AT-436
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Life's Whisper

In every step,
life unfolds itself.
Each day,
it tells a different story,
each unique in its own way.

Life tells you:
never look back.
No one is gazing at you.
Do not look to your left,
to your right—
none is with you.

Life tells you:
do not look ahead,
do not live in shadows,
do not chase a mirage—
they do not exist.

Life tells you:
neither your past
nor your future
walk beside you.
Look at me—
I was with you,
I am with you,
and I will be.

Be with me.
I am your reality,
not the dreams of the future,
not the beauty of the past.
Stay close as you walk,
for I am the only companion
you truly have.

Never leave my hand.
I will not let you stumble.
I will share your silence,
stand by your side,
and walk with you
until your journey is done.
