About the Work
"Life" delves into the somber yet profound elements of human existence, weaving a tapestry of solitude and hidden mysteries. Lanka Chandani's use of imagery, such as the "coldest nights of loneliness" and "the blanket of darkness," paints a vivid picture of the emotional landscapes traversed during life's journey. Her literary style is both introspective and revealing, inviting readers to reflect on the chapters of their own lives that remain unwritten or unread.

Original Submission by Lanka Chandani Ranatunge
Life
Behold thy vision
In the coldest nights of loneliness,
End is never to be seen
In this long journey of Samsara.
Hide thy tears
Under the blanket of darkness,
No heart may weep
For thy dismal grief.
Life is a long saga
All mysteries hidden,
Pages unread never to be turned
New chapters written.
