Atop of the World, Mom! (four)

“Climbing to the top demands strength,
whether it is to the top of Mount Everest
or to the top of your career”
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Atop of the World, Mom!

Climb the steps
All the way to the top
They may take out your breath
But there is no feeling better
Than that of the atop

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Atop of the World, Mom!

“Top of the world Ma!
Soon enough anyway!
At least, before I get to say
‘ha-ha’!”

As I shouted out loud, the lift started to sway
Hauling me and my derrière, high up on its way

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Atop of the World, Mom!

Views, of the top windows
Sun reflected, between the floors
Everything visible, through the open doors
Did I miss something
You had hoped to score?

Atop of the World, Mom!

Sunshine on the canvas
Remember, where this place was?
Faded memories it may cause
Maybe grievance of a loss
But then, just stare into the sun
And remember, all the fun

Wish

Dear gods of weather
Hear my plead, my wish for the better
Please, release this wintery tether
And unleash the summery breeze of feather
For this view of now gives no pleasure
These times are no fun nor leisure
So dearies, this is no order nor push of pressure
Just send us that damned warm weather!

“We’re on a road to nowhere”
Talking Heads

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Early morning rays
On the brick a while stay
Just don’t stand and stare
On a dare, without care
Start your trip
With an attitude and flare

“We’re on a road to nowhere”
Talking Heads

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Painted instructions, onto the asphalt
Follow them, to the default
While doing that, keep your resolve
Otherwise it will be your own fault
If you diverge and take a fall

“We’re on a road to nowhere”

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

The narrow corridor
Once crossed, by the conquistadors
Now you too can play
A proud and courageous warrior

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Just do as you were told
Follow the yellow brick road
Whether a man or a toad
Just leave that load
Where it belongs
Take a quick step, a tall step
A dance step, even a slow step
And follow the yellow brick road

Down, down, down the stairs
Up, up, up the stairs
Never mind where you may fare
Just enjoy the time on the stairs
