Trekking Days

By Vivek Upadhyay

Distant dreams on the mountain tops, jumping plains of emotions imagination hops, brushing the teeth twice in chilling winters real bravery accords,

reaching elevated camps reality gradually fades winning battles against all odds.

we rise we fall we walk we run & at times we even crawl, high the spirit enjoying it all, finding mountain soil, soothing streams, warm sunny shades & abandoned concrete walls.

we view tall trees, mystic woods, counting in rain we go heads with hoods,

touching the snow the temperatures fall, freezing water,

for solutions we scroll

the methods in our complex mind stalls.

boys & girls shouting from far canal,

asking each other if you hear the call, motivating some sound,

describing peace tranquality in mountains that will heal it all.

cheery laughters, tribes vocal

the cameras shutters forming digital records, all men acting studs and funny,

lost lovers they generally recall.

covering turfs, trolling sounds, speed up your heart for the elevated grounds,

maggi, juice, tea, coffee, nearing around, energise yourself,

walk through beautiful meadows

all that you like shall finally be found,

keep in mind the moment when we reach peak pinnacles bearing golden crowns.

cheer up the crowd my friend says, yes i will with thunder & blaze, completely astonishing amusing my ways, these musings of hearts expressed in words always stays.

one carries water, one carries breads, another one carries bunch of meds & chocolates,

tiffin box if additional passed on to younger friends walking bagless,

lifting each other counting nights and days, slowly we drift towards the summit apex.

mirroring of virtues of different souls, reflecting in my demeanor the hots & colds, complementing my existence enhancing the grace, faces & minds glow & grow in that place,

just like pearls of common threads, collectively bundled like pack of cards,

all so fiery & valued like an ace.

depicting new trends, vibes transcend, focus sharp to well comprehend,

descending further in the journey ahead does it really matter if its a sunrise or sunset? after all my friends its always about the sun rays, the life lessons, the bondings, those lovely trekking days,

which set the pace for life to find that true natural solace.
