The Poet

 

Higher the mountain, higher is gain,

When meanings excavated through pain;

Each step says fathomed all steps,

But in every step time takes farther to depth.

 

One’s anger once a while, rest is smile,

Who cares if on the right inclined!!

Or if graph of positions always declined,

Even trophies on such uncharted paths never shine.

 

On mountains learn steps, not oblige,

Those who; fall prey to heights in no time;

Shalt be forests unsecured, numerous insecure,

Who might turn to you as fodder or to allure.

 

Give as good one’s get, is no less than slang,

As who touches feet or rebuke, then in conformity plan!

But when one reaches to mountain’s peak,

Is when the Poet in the heart shalt Speak!
