Heights

A view from Zing Zing Bar, on the way to Leh, Ladakh.

Heights!
Heights of beauty, heights of flight
I miss it on my autopilot slide
Just the way snowflakes glide
Tender temptation…
Oh Hell! I just might!
‘Cause my head is dizzy and my eyes bright,
They do crazy things to me…Oh! These heights!

Heights! Heights!
The road is nothing but hairbreadth wide
It’s a matter of chance, will I make it through?
At least I would know that I tried
When heavens shower rain and earth,
I throw a dice and cross the landslide
They are calling…I must reach the heights!

Heights!
Million imaginations these mountains provide
The landscape is beautiful, but it’s a rough ride
Several have given up,
And I am not sure if these wheels can put up the fight
So come, let’s sing a few songs and fuel the ride
They inspire me…I love these heights!

Heights!
Within moments there would be another shade of the serene, as they step into twilight
They can lift you to the Milky Way
Stargazing I would spend the nights!
Yearning to be there, I wish upon a star…
Let me be lost in the barren solitude and it would be alright
I gotto go back…I belong to those moony heights.

i know that feeling, i always want to go back there. there is something about the mountains that makes me feel SO much at home. be it plodding up the difficult terrain, or letting go of the feet to literally waltz down, when you know one wrong step, and you migth go crashing, and yet you let go, knowing it is the feet, and not the mind that find you the way…

something goes wrong everytime i load this site, the browser loads it, then takes me elsewhere, and says some malicious trojan program is being downloaded :(

how have u been?
