I Want To Climb This Mountain Top
I want to climb this mountain top
but the peak is covered with clouds
I can see only the grey things flowing
escarpments are very steep and sharp
whenever I try I glide as baby baboon
on a cut stem of banana plant at home
slopes are homes of lions and cobras
claws and fangs point at me furiously
still I want to go there at whatever costs
my heart pulsates for the mountain top
every sun that rises swells my hope
I am jealous of abilities of the eagles
that find it a walk to reach and perch
I wish I was an angel of the heavens
the top of this mountain I could touch
that day I get an opportunity to rise to it
the sweet triumphant will be engraved
forever on my back and annals of desire
