Silently gasping for air as I walk up hill,
The thin air is tender and carries a chill,
That runs down my spine with each drop of sweat
As i look around the serene town with a hint of fret.
To know answers, to find my senses,
To find out who am I, who I really am?

In the shade of the mammoth trees,
Acting like a shield from the digital life.
Still reeling from the effects of a potent high
As the sun blares away in the distant sky,
I stand by the edge of the cliff,
Awestruck by the valley's bliss.

Tourist crowd the base of a waterfall like ants
Leaving the unexplored for wanderlust.
And so I crawl my way up to the top
Panting like an asthmatic with a mile wide smile..
The smile of success and conceding to life
So I sit atop and meditate
In hope to learn my fate.

A blanket of clouds surrounds me
Just cold whiteness where nothing can be found.
Such is the ability of the Himalayas
To create a heaven here on Earth.
The glacier water froze my throat
As I rubbed my eyes, struggling for vision
My mind struggling for inspiration..
For motivation to live a city life.
