Of all the things you hear,
Of all the things you see,
What matters the most?
What stays with you?
Around you, inside you.
Filling up your soul
Like a fire, a burning desire
A powerful thought
Consuming your mind
An overpowering urge
To reach out,
Into the universe
A longing to be somewhere
In the space dust
Among the stars that shine
Several light years away
And across the galaxies,
Several billion years old
Free, unbound, somewhere beyond
everything familiar and known
Somewhere out there
Where you will meet yourself…
Some moods of the starry, dreamy, dramatic, surreal mountain sky of the favourite Himalayan mountains, seen during the Kashmir Great Lakes trek, one monsoon.
