With utmost courage I stand up again,
after falling down the steps,
While on my way to the topmost floor,
of the tallest building known!
The stairs were slippery
and so was the floor,
glazing, reflecting, dazzling
with light more …
While alighting I looked around,
to the enrapturing scene profound,
desires started triggering ,
to possess every possible thing…
that lay beside the lone staircase,
on walls and ceilings shining blaze…
And for a second my gaze shifted,
from the steps …
and I slipped and lay flabbergasted!
Stumbling and slipping down,
tripping and tumbling to the ground…
hurt ,bruised,
strains in self,
I got myself curled …
and stood up again!
With a pain and ache within,
of mind,body and spirit!
The fall reminded me every-time,
of the anguish that
was only mine,
So determined and resolved I became,
To walk and achieve the final aim,
without being distracted anymore,
to reach my predestined floor!
