THE SOLO CLIMB

I never felt alone

Till I thought I was,

Like a climber on a cliff,

Gets shaky looking down.

This momentary realisation

Of a state sans humans,

Is a result of an expedition

Too far into the columns.

One day in this silly race,

You come so far, climb so high,

That company is scarce

And the summit is nearby .

Loneliness is like a cloud,

That overshadows the rest,

Like a avalanche passing by,

Covers everything in its behest.

But in your life this cloud stays,

As a part of your daily sky,

Aware of its growing presence,

You learn to thrive In semblance.
