They say when one wants something
With all the heart and soul
The whole universe conspires
to fulfill the longing desires
As the sunlight filtered through the trees
With the buzz of the humming bees
As the clouds aligned in artistic precision
all inculcated in him a sense of elation
The signs were showing directions again
it was time to achieve the aim
whether the sky, the wind or the cloud
'go for it' they were shouting aloud
As he looked up to the heavens
He had to reach, no matter what
Up there, to the peak glistening in the sun
Because now, there was nowhere to run
His fingers grab the nearest ledge
A knee presses on a hard rock
The foot leaves the ground finally
His fingers pulling him entirely
Some more distance from the ground below
he waits and breathes a sigh
for years he had cherished that faraway peak
He always knew what he had to seek
Finally today he had started
He looked down one last time
To everyone , he always had one thing to say
He would reach the mount one day
Some more steps, some more bruises
But deep inside, an undefined pleasure
A smile crossed his eyes every time
Thinking of the day he'd say, "Its mine".
A little kid when he was, he dreamed
Of fairies and dreamlands afar,
How his granny always cherished Robinhood's spark
How persistently he fought against the dark
And he knew one day he would ride his horse
And rescue the princess from the curse
Ha! today he knew there was nobody else
Today he would climb just for himself.
But he suddenly trembles, and hits
A rock gives away under his foot
For a moment, his toes nearly slip
He jumped with all his valour to skip
This moment filled him with shock and surprise
Scary it was, with feelings undetermined
His journey, his relatives, all his life
Everything flashed as if it was tip of knife
What followed was a long pause
Leading to uncountable revelations
He valued just his target
But alas! The same he did forget
Father's strength, mother's care,
Brother's quarrels, sister's prayer
The girl for whom he left everything behind
Revered emotions rushed through his mind.
He realized how some always helped
How some always took care of his needs
Supported him through thin and thick
Helped him lay every underpinning brick
Could he leave all this behind, forget he has to pay?!
He could turn back, he could climb down
He could fill every place with affection
Maybe craft a glistening reflection !
But alas! If he returned
all supportive efforts, all encouraging words
all prayers for his success will go in vain
he cant give the dear ones such a pain
he changes his mind instantaneously
he will stay and accomplish his mission
not for himself, but for those
whose hearts have always stayed very close
So, he walked ,walked many a mile
He passed men and women, lost in their lives
He left many a bleeding lands of war
He saw gardens of love and roads going far
The summer passed, the rains came
Rest did he take in between ?
But he couldn't fail, he knew
He couldn't fall after all he has been through!
Living the mammoth time expanse
Climbing the gigantic height of the crag
alas! Finally he reached the pinnacle
triumphing over the mighty debacle
He stood right there, stood staring !
Clouds, and blue mounts, birds and old pines
Villages and fields and the phantom skies ..
Oceans and winds so alive !
Again it was father's strength, mother's care,
Brother's quarrels, sister's prayer
The girl for whom he left everything behind
Bruised emotions rushed through his mind
He had won! And he bowed to the world entire
The universe did conspire to fulfill his desire!
And as the last ray of sunlight shone through a tree
He turned back, to the place he wanna be
