!!! ୫୧୩: ଆଗରେ ଜୀବନ: Life Ahead !!!

(First two Stanza of my new Poem in Odia and English) 
କାଟିକୁଟି ଯେତେ ସବୁ ଡୋର
ତଳେ ପଡିବାର ଅଛି ଅବା ସୁଖ
ଭୁଲିଯାଇ ଖୁସି ଉଡିବାର |
 ଜଟାୟୁ ଜୀବନ ...
ଅଛି ଅବା ସୁଖ ହାରିବାର'
କେବଳ ଶାନ୍ତ୍ଵନା ସ୍ମୃତିକୁ
କି ସୁଖ ବା ଅଛି ଚାହିଁବାର
ଯେବେଥାଏ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କେବଳ |
------------------------------------
Is there pleasure after, Dissolving all the holdings
Forgetting the pleasure of flight ? Well could there be a pleasure after !
The life of a Jatayu ... Possibly, happy on defeats and departure
Only solace lies in memories after. What's the pleasure of wanting
If there are waits only in store lurking !

----------------------------------------

Hrushikesha babu, liked your para-phrasing "jatayu jeevan". angya, now human being's attitude is antithesis to "jatayu jeevan". Your this paraphrasing poetically illustrates "the difficulty of being good" as described by Gurucharan Das citing mythological evidence. We are scared to be subsumed in the class of Jatatayu Jeevan! Enjoyed.
