~ Peak Realisation… ~ 

☆

In the  majestic  mountain’s  

towering height,

I found my form diminishing

Into  a  faint  sight

 *

 Looking back, tiny dots, like

pygmies, did stray,

The travelers I had left behind,

were fading away

* 

My mind, which was swollen

with conceit & pride,

But when encountered the peaks,

my false vanity died

 *

Inward and outward, mused

boundaries did cease,

A union formed, where my inner

essence did release

 *

If it was not for the humility,

what lesson did I learn?

If it was not for self-conquest,

what message did I earn?

 *

Beneath the mountains’ shadow,

and the endless sky above,

My  heart  felt  infinitely  small,

yet I rose in universal love

 *

Now, my  stature  scales  the

lofty   peaks  so  high,

In  harmony  with  nature,

I touch  the  azure sky…
