The Himalayas Poem by RAJ NANDY

The Himalayas



THE HIMALAYAS

Though hundreds of men have scaled
up it's back,
It forever retains it's pristine beauty
and virginity!
Clad in its eternal mantle of pure
whiteness,
Stands that lofty citadel of ice and
snow,
A place where the very God's dwell!

On reaching it's summit up high,
It is not the peak we only conquer
each time;
But we conquer ourselves!
Displaying indomitable will and
human sprit,
To rise above all earthly fetters!
To aspire and to reach,
Where only the brave, the courageous,
and the stout-hearted,
Do dare, and forever excel!

i have always felt in awe of people who are so passionate about something, they don't care about the conseqences.it is not the peakwe conquer each time but we conquer ourselves. true- it is a challenge to yourself when you set your eyes on what seems impossible Mamta
