I look from the window, and what do I see?

I look from the window, and what do I see?
I see a familiar face, trodding the lane
I see some smile, I see some pain
I see people as busy as can be.

I look from the window, and what do I see?
I sense a long lost mystery in the air
I see some pleasure, I see a tear
And much more, I try to see

I look from my window, and what do I see?
I see women lost in household chores,
I see men lost in soccer scores,
Lust I see, passion I see

I look from my window, and what do I see?
I see the old mount far away,
I see the pines, the hamlets at sway:
Something I really want to see!

I look from my window, and what do I see?
I see a bird fighting the breeze
I see a battalion planning a siege
A lost voyager at sea

I look from my window, and what do I see?
I see a nervous student going for tests
A kid walking to the school he detests
An old man with a stick I see

I look from my window, and what do I see?
The curtain blocks my vision, and nothing I see.

Would he reach ?

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
