How does a person may feel
When he or she reaches
at top of legal profession
A Three
Part Poem
And when he reached
On top of a mountain
He saw Absolute Silence
And Profound Loneliness
Waiting to greet him
“Once or twice in every century
Someone like you comes here
To meet us and to be a part of us”
They said in a voiceless language
Smiling warmly at him
Then he looked down the mountain
Every one below looked so small
In size and thoughts!
He wondered whether
He really belonged to this planet!
Then some thought struck him
And he just laughed
“These are all just images!”
He whispered to himself
****
And when he looked up at the sky
For the first time he heard
Melodious sounds
Which the stars where making
While twinkling with one another
The whole sky came alive
With melodious tunes of stars!
They were talking with one another
And he soon began to understand
Harmonious language of stars
It appeared they were souls
Of immortal men and women
Who lived here centuries ago
One of them twinkled at him
As if to ask something to a new
climber!
And next moment it twinkled again
As if it had got the answer!
They knew him!
They knew him all along!!
He was after all not lonely
On the top of a mountain
*****
And what did the little star ask?
He tried to recall but failed
The Age, the biggest thief of time,
Was playing mischief!
Or may be all his memories
Had become trivia!
He was neither living
In memories of past
Nor in hopes of tomorrow!
He felt free from bonds of his memories!
Just then in a flash
He recalled what little star was
asking him
“Which values
Did you sow on Earth?”
“Oh!” He was taken by surprise
Little star didn’t want to know
About his acquisitions, achievements
and combats!
He also did not want to know
Height of mountain he had just
climbed!
He was asking only about his farming
skills!!
Back in his village an old farmer
used to live
He wondered he could be still alive
Next time he would visit his village
He would ask him about
Science of sowing seeds of values
In memories of mankind
And then he would come again on this
mountain
To reply to this little star
He resolved
