I traveled for hours and miles,
Braving the woods and gaping at the skies
Just a glimpse or little more maybe
Would satiate my eyes' urge to see
I trekked along valleys, climbed many hills
Waded across brooks and through water stills..
Even with so much beauty around to relish
I wanted something more to be
Tired I was, panted like a famished pup
Rode a mule when my legs gave up
With not much energy and a few more paces
I was sure I would reach my snowy mountain ranges
A giant white cloud sped past me
Challenging me for a race
He played cheap tricks by frosting my feet
And dampening my pace
As I reached the top,
I could'nt believe what was there..
Thousand scoops of Himalayas
Stood gallantly for me to stare
I stopped; fell on my knees
To admire my dream destination
My rival, my competitor mockingly sneered
And moved ahead in elation
Up he went and marred my vision
Making sight hazy and blur
Though jealous I was of that cloud
I yelled, "You win, please stay back here."
Deaf ear he turned as he floated above
And embraced my dear mountains
When he turned back for a second to show off his victory
Just one scoop of Himalayas was what I could manage to see :(
