To me, the hills are mine.
They call me,
They calm me.
They tell me,
I should stand strong,
And not allow even the strongest of winds to shake my identity.
They ask me to tell the world,
Only the strongest can touch me,
Yet, no one can move me.
Yes, you can destroy me,
But you cannot move me.
I must confess,
When I climb on top of hills,
I look down on those who are scared.
My ego boasts,
My heart says, 'I understand the hills, I belong to them; you don't!
Nice!!!!
ReplyDeleteNice blog!!
ReplyDeleteLove the sentiment Sim, you have to continue writing about things that you feel an emotional connection with. I love that our exploration of Ladakh affected us both so deeply. Not convinced by the last line but have read and re-read several times and I always enjoy the piece as a whole
ReplyDeleteThanks Bhaiya! The last line does not go with my persona, in the sense i dont look down upon anyone! But what i mean is i can relate to the hills as i feel i embrace the same traits and not everyone can do that!
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you enjoy reading my work.
