Whoever created the saying
“As still as the mountains”
Had probably no idea about
His created sentence
He would have surely known
If he had travelled a lot
That the mountains aren’t as still
As much as he had thought
But i know this for a fact
Which no one else will tell
That the mountains not just call
But they move around as well
And how can i be so sure
If this is what you think
Then Let me tell you sir
That i have felt this thing
This happened just last night
When i was wide awake in my dream
The mountains paid me a visit
And let out one loud scream
“What has gone wrong with you
Where the hell have you been
We have been waiting there for you
But you have remained unseen
You visited us long back
About a couple of years
We remember when you left
We could see your hidden tears
We expected you to return
In not more than few weeks
But when you did not arrive
Talks started amongst the teaks
Something must have gone wrong
Something bad would have unfurled
Or else you could not dump us
For anything in this world
So here we are to see
If everything is fine with you
And if it really is then
Why didn’t we hear from you
You keep writing about
How the mountains call
But never do you mention
That you don’t care at all
Else why would you not visit us
When we had such a good thing going
We feel you and you feel us
And it goes without saying
You once yourself said
When the mountains call you’ve got to go
And now when we ourselves are here
We expect you to give us a show”
And i opened my eyes with disbelief
Of what i had just dreamt
I felt it was the time to tell
To the mountains what i felt
And what better way to tell them
That you love and miss them too
Than backpacking and reaching there soon
And reassure that the friendship is true.
