🌷True Reward...
Poetess : Tilottama Vijay Lele

Our world is obsessed with achievement 
By having more-n-more of a commitment
Fortune's generated by new experiments 

Some mountains R meant to be climbed. 
From far, others R meant to be admired 
So that their majesty will remain intact… 

D bitter-sweet appreciations 
Of understanding n transience
Admire d beauty no need to possess it 

Often an attempt to capture or to achieve,
Keeps us away from d very experience 
That Mother Nature has to offer...
 
Der R mountains all around us 
That we'll never summit. 
N that’s not some failure. It’s a choice. 

It’s d recognition that life is short, 
N our attention-span is limited, 
Some mountains R not meant for us 

They're waiting for others to climb.
Sitting at d base of some mountains  
In awe we can look up n wonder. 

N applaud for those who made d climb. 
We'll learn from their journeys of summit 
Der is no need to duplicate what's done...

We need to find our own mountains… 
Smaller perhaps, less impressive ones...
But silently inviting n welcoming us...

Everything's not meant to be conquered
Not every mountain's Der to be climbed
Der R Few to Be Admired n Worshipped

To admire, appreciate, not to possess 
We get d joy without conquest, 
N it's a different kind of summit.

If d mountain calls us in a subtle way 
N we find genuine joy in d visit itself
Then to repeat, we'll never hesitate …

So let's push ourselves 
N Exceed those limits. 
To Reach that summit.

Reaching d mountain top isn’t d reward. 
D pleasant experience of climbing  
Mother Nature speaks to our heart 

N That's d True Reward…
