As the taxi was wobbling

The track was suddenly narrowing

The langurs were suddenly running
The pine trees were roaring
The air was acting
No, with a mystery it was playacting
The wind was blowing
Snakes were suddenly hissing
Mountains were quietly whispering
With a mid-day sun shining
The locals were loitering
Suddenly we were ascending
The we started descending
I hope though the driver knew where we were heading
Otherwise a whole lot of time we were wasting
Atleast that was what it was looking
Till the time we were arriving
Full of doubts we were willing
Suddenly there was a gut feeling
That we would not be reaching
In the journey we shall be procrastinating
But, alas the journey was worth waiting
The beauty unraveled was worth waiting
It was as if the pines were suddenly changing
The mountains were baring
The owls were suddenly screeching
It was as if we were reaching
There was an air of anticipating

Happier I was getting

It was as if hospitable they were becoming
The whole scenery was swapping
To my co-passengers I was narrating
A story I was telling
In my mind the legacy of the place was playing
Suddenly, the barriers were breaking
In the head the blood was clotting
Suddenly was again feeling
Thresholds was it crossing
The chest was thumping
A very fast heart was beating
Anxiety was touching
Suddenly I was wondering
Over the top I was feeling
Closer to the goal was I touching
Like a bird was suddenly flapping
Over the top was I reacting
Suddenly was I arousing
From the deep slumber I was awaking
It seemed at long last the hibernation was ending
I was suddenly wondering
Nectar of the gods should I be consuming
Should not a pleasure be titillating?
Alas, warmer was I feeling
Or, wrong is it colder the feeling?
Lower the clouds were hovering
Enjoying the panoramic viewing

It was suddenly unnerving

Full of thorns the tracks were filling
Finally was I stopping
Off the car was I getting
Across the stream Teestha was gushing
Waves were tumbling
Waterfall was breathtaking
Through the dragon gates was I entering
A lot of answers was I seeking
A lot of stairs was I climbing
The prayer wheel was I turning
Anti-clockwise was i rotating
Heavy was it in moving
Blissful was it looking
Through the massive gates was I observing
The marvel in front was unraveling
Finally was I entering
Post the security check we were entering
The two main buildings were demarcating
Golden statue and stupa they were dividing
The symbols were breathtaking
The deer and chakhras symbols were amazing
Into the main building we were entering
With a glass the overhead roof was covering
The walls with red paint were gleaming
The whole story in the form of painting
Down the heritage was I staring
At the altar Buddha statue was resting

Water bowls they were offering

Butter lamps they were lighting
Oil they were pouring
Wick they were stretching
The monks were sitting and quietly praying
Rosary beads they were turning
Background music was inspiring
Lords name they were chanting
With Dorjee in the right hand they were praying
With a bell in the left hand they were chanting
All of a sudden the insides were churning
And I was suddenly prostrating
Heart was suddenly weeping
Bliss I was experiencing
I felt all the Buddhas were blessing
Suddenly was I weeping
With a broom suddenly was I sweeping
The next moment incense sticks were burning
And silently was I sitting
The flow of energy I was harnessing
The place was healing
The environment was inducing
I felt as if I was being conditioning
Then the place was closing
On the stairs I was climbing
On a special spot was I reaching
On a boulder was I sitting
The rains were ravaging

But, I was not affecting

The sandstone was not affecting
I was suddenly laughing
Far away the urban jungle it was seeming
A pure world was suddenly speaking
Hide and seek the sun was playing
The future was not mattering
I was in the present and enjoying
Mouths were suddenly closing
Eyes were suddenly transfixing
Conversations were not happening
Pure energy was amazing
The monks were running and playing
Elastic time was feeling
Suddenly I was loosing myself
In the moment was I leaving myself
No longer was I talking
Suddenly a thought was cropping
Is it my own attitude that was changing?
Has my soul been penetrating
Have the mountains been healing
The outsiders were frowning
In the end I was introspecting
In the vicinity a monk was working
On the stone he was writing
His attention was amazing
With a hammer he was working
The mindfulness was breathtaking

I feel he was inspiring

Suddenly my life felt like radically changing
Then I ought to be departing
Too much time was passing
With a deep heart I was walking
An unique object I was observing
The benches there were rusting
Guards were incessantly chatting
Intermittently they were chewing
Betel Leaf they were spitting
The holy places walls there were dirtying
Sadly I was disgruntling
Their attitude was disillusioning
Down the city was looking
Like ants they were seeming
On top of the world I was feeling
I do not know how others were feeling
