A Trek To Remember!

A view from Savandurga Hill

The Mighty Ten - At the top

A wild hill stood in the front 

A step forward or journey back home

Excitement took over the dilemma

And I found myself walking forward

Tracks laid in front through wilderness of nature

There were many before us, I think

Who dared to climb the lonely hill

I wonder how many did reach the top

There was a feeling of calmness in the wild

Serenity in the open blue sky

In the company of friends 

It took three long hours to climb

Finally there we were at the top 

Where everything felt so beautiful

Where you could see the birds gliding below

And follow the river for miles

To lay and gaze at the open blue sky

Or stare below at the vast green lands

Close my eyes and feel the breeze

Or open my eyes and capture the beauty

There was so much I wanted to do

But then there is only so much you can do 

In the home of wild nature

And you must return to yours at the end

For now, I shall retract my steps 

But then I will return some other day

 To continue where I left today

A journey I look forward to endeavor..
