Random Thoughts...


As i climb up the stairs, i think..

What is it that needs elevation..

My aims, or my efforts?

And as i take a turn on a floor

I ponder..

Is this the time to rest,

or realise that i need to move up further..

without stopping...

As soon as i reach the terrace..

I feel the sunshine,

which takes me out of the halogen illuminations..

I wonder..is this virtual or real?

i think about my destination.

I HAVE come to the right place...

But the ultimate refuses to reveal itself..

And then i know, i have another set

of staircases..... invisible...

that will make me compete with myself

make me reach to a destination

which has been pushed a few light years away....

And then i realise...

the goals elevate themselves..

I need to escalate my efforts...

I am climbing up the stairs.. and i am thinking...

    Not random at all.... very directed thoughts. The search for the goal. All of us......

    Elegant way to put the simple thoughts. :)
