VIEWING HIMALAYA
*********************
Inaccessible regions, great heights
During this arduous journey to reach you
To quench your thirst
I could not get a fistful of water
On this height
No hypernyms, no stream was available
Could not come across
Any bank of river or any stream.
Dismissing some moments of your memories
Intending to get rid of fatigue
I could not get any resting place
Any motel
Was not available for this
Exhausted traveller.
The courage on dint of which
I had accepted this challenging journey
Carrying burden of heavy bundles
How am I managing to climb
On these great heights
I have left behind many mountains
Still, so many mountains are ahead
Several persons insisted me to drop this journey
But how could I retreat
This very moment, I am viewing Himalaya
With the advent of morning
Just as the Sun
In your reveries
I am melting
I have learnt to melt only!
