05 - The Ascent

 



(Hemkund Sahib At 14k ft)

The trembling legs ,

The shaky knees, 

The breaking back, 

The drooping shoulders,

The panting heart,

The bursting lungs, 

The pinching feet , 

The hanging tounge , 

The shutting eyes , 

The sweaty skin 


The never ending steps 

The ever moving body 

The suddenly wilting mind 


Am I there ?

Am I there ?


Am not yet there 

Am almost there 


all the Sakthi 

just to feel like a Savam ?


O lord 


I will not exit

because 

I dont exist 


Heal my SOUL 

Be my SOLE 


Dissolve the I 


Let this 

sAvam 

turn 

s'I'vam 


Time stood still 

In a whitish hill 


Near the final boulder

Felt a tap on the Shoulder ... 


"Wahe Guru. Wahe Guru"


Thy ask

"Has Hemkund come ?"


Came the reply 


" does hemkund move towards you ??

Or Hemkund moves you ??"


Opened my Eyes  ... 


A smiling old man near by said 


"Gravity pulls you down

Love pulls you up" 


As he disappeared 

The Shrine Appeared


Knees bent ... 

Tears rolled down ... 

Words were lost ...


This is 


not a victory ... 

not an achievement ...


just the journey ...
