Blind to the suffering about me,
Ungrateful for the gifts
Life had laid out!
I packed my bags in frustration
Off for a mountaineering expedition.
I gathered all my forces,
Looking for some adventure
And reached base camp:
A new beginning;
Truth is I wasn't well-prepared,
I'd wasted my time lamenting my fate;
What a challenge it was
As I traversed the lush green slope,
Bitten by snakes, aborted by gales
And trying to keep up hope.
I met many on my journey,
The kind who love the high chilled latitudes,
They shared with me all they had,
Without them there would have been no scope;
It took me all of 28 days of trekking
With little time for rest, and on the last day
At the crack of dawn I seamlessly
Gave it my all, my best;
I stood atop this young mountain,
Gazing down and all about,
I soaked in the morning dew,
Took in the fresh sunrise
And vowed to scale all the gigantic
Mountains that come my way.
Today, as I am back home,
Lazing about, at ease and at peace,
I only need another mountain before me
And I'll scale the peak with ease!
