I try to reach to the top but every time i fail
Yet I try over and over again
because every climb brings me closer to my aim.
I wish to reach the summit- as do my fellow mates,
Some of them are strangers
but some of them I know
But in the end you have to climb all alone.
Every climb I learn something new,
Every climb breaks my spirit
but every climbs gets me closer
to The Dragon on the summit.
After countless tries I reach that peak yearned by all
and I see the white Dragon standing tall
The lustrous snow blinds my eyes
and I feel the cold winds blow
through clear blue skies
The dragon stares right into my eyes
and I see that this world is just a web of lies
All these falls and climb were just fiction
and my real self was far beyond the horizon
He shoots a wall of fire at me
that is the last thing I see
It burns my eyes
my heart
my thought
my soul
I am just ash.
Ash that cannot be burnt again,
Ash that flies in the skies,
Ash that flows with the rivers,
Ash that is free-
**Forever
The poem is inspired by the hindu/budhist concept of 'moksha'
It is liberation from endless cycle of birth-death and the suffering which comes with it.
It is knowing who you truly are
It is escaping the Matrix forever
