TRY NOT TO CRY!.. Dr Yogendra Arya, Pali

 

Try not to cry
Ha ha haha ha ha
O My! Laugh.....
We have reached !
Wow ! What a View !
Gosh, Let me catch,
My fleeting breath.
It's really Breathtaking,
Decades of Dreaming,
Years of hardworking,
Avalanches, snow, ice, rocks,
Tears, gasps, hiccups, fevers,
Nerve cracking, jaw dropping,
Pulse pounding, weather beating,
Emotional vacuum, mental chaos,
Agony, anxiety and frustration.
Bag pack, wallet empty
Being with myself, my thoughts
My tears my joys
My friends my foes
Mountains calling loud
Trekking in Nepal
Picture Postcards
Like NGC or Discovery Channel
Walking through Times,
Primitive humble villages,
So poor yet so happy,
Just smile and win friends
Fine Wool, fluffy jacket,
Light packing, higher attitudes,
Spike boots, ice climbers,
Walking stick, the best friend,
Flying Kathmandu to Lukla,
And then just walking and walking,
Hardest Battle inside,
More than outside,
Every breath, every heartbeat,
Perseverance, never giving up.
Life after death
Death after Life
All summed up
At the Summit
Try, not to cry, my friends
Live before you die, my friends
