Climbing The Mountains of Life.

I saw a mountain I couldn't climb,
I stood down the mountain, gazing at its height,
The fear gripped me more as I gaze,
I imagine how I can climb that height,
The fear of falling and slipping down the cliff to my death , soaked my wet bones into ice,
I couldn't look any further,
Its an impossible mission, a deadly adventure.
Nothing to hold onto as I climb, except my brains, soul, body, strength and faith.

I stood there for months, years without any solutions!

But little did I know that each day, I grew weary of sitting, i get challenged on the possibilities of climbing the mountain.

Then one day,
I decided , it's now or I continue leaving in the valleys of doubts , fear and uncertainties.

Then I took the first step,
I slipped,
Tried again,
I slipped,

But I learnt a quick lesson, the way I climb matters, its on this little steps, every progress I made is judged.

Then I went back,
Tried a new step,
I climbed without slipping,
I created a mental note on my brain,
That I can do this,

A little higher,
I was metres away from the ground,
I looked down,
Knowing I can't go down again,
I have been there for months and years,.
I climbed higher,

But the fear gripped me on my feet,
I could feel the pains,
I could feel the withholding force,
The power of gravity!

I fought against it,
Clinged to my water, drew a deep breath and climbed on.
I refueled my soul and body!

My faith is all that matters.
The faith that I can make it,
I continued,
I climbed slowly , slowly, gradually,
I could feel the cliff of the mountain in my spirit,
I knew am almost there!

One more strive!
One more patience!
One more desire!
One more zeal!
One more ! One more!
Kept echoing in my spirit!

And Just one more!
I was at the top!
I made it!
I climbed!
I Succeeded !
Fear has been Subdued!

Just one more fight...
