one day I also long
to embrace freedom
movement motion
get out of jail free
inherent in mobile phones
sucking in thoughts
contacts friendships
diverse on the run
but presently mountains
of thoughts loom
before me I am
but in the foothills
hours days weeks
of hard steady climb
stretch out before me
in acclimatization
before my footsteps
traverse the roof
of the world
attempt summits
of highest peaks
only then can I descend
to your mountain valleys
bars cafes wine dine in
old friendships when
tribute is paid when
the long trek is done
