Jijivisha
(Hindi) The Strange eternal desire to live and continue living
In the worse situation too
the urge to survive
one more day maybe
to let the hope thrive
People go through so much
they say the grief of death
is shed at the crematorium gate
when people return
because how else
does one survive?
pain, heartbreak, and death
the dystopia that we live in
how else do we accept
one more day
one more time.

जिज्ञासा से भरी... शायद जीने की जिद ही मेरी जिजीविषा है

DeleteYour words are poignant. True, we all find the will somewhere to move ahead one more day, no matter what.
ReplyDeleteyes thats what keeps us going maybe
DeleteSo true- this is what keeps life going- no matter what happens!
ReplyDeleteYes you are right
DeleteWe want to live on and on no? Maybe through our words too?
ReplyDeleteyes maybe we all do
DeleteSo apt and precise--the essence of life: it wants to live.
ReplyDeleteYes it wants to
DeleteOf course, "just one more time" keeps us going. Taking life one day at time makes it a little less complicated than to handle the whole chaos at once.
ReplyDeleteyes maybe
DeleteBeautiful! Jijivisha...resplendent with hope. I loved the poem and the dystopian world that we live in, being hopeful is the only way to take things in our stride!
ReplyDeleteYes hope is eternal
DeleteA suitably serious poem for the times we are living through. Yet somehow, with the rising of the sun, we move tentatively into the new day. https://mollyscanopy.com/2021/04/junior-prom-my-awkward-first-date-atozchallenge/
ReplyDeleteYes living one day at a time
DeleteSuch a powerful word and yes this severe urge helps us tide across all grief . I loved the poem.
