Loner's walk

My mind is the laboratory

And I am the scientist

My body is the guinea pig

And every experiment is a documented experience


These were the thoughts I had as I admired the icy blue

Atop the horizons of Mount Abu

The snow landed on my shoulders

With each step ice crackled like splinters


Partial fear and partial independence

Uncertain path and undecided destination

On and on I walked on my lonely trek

Never realising where I stepped without a break


Icy winds reddened my nose

Freaking cold brittled my ears

Had a partial mind to turn around

And go back to the civilisation


The civilisation which gave me bread and butter

In return to my relentless work without a stutter

This is not what I want to do I decided

Started my next experiment on myself as my heart prided
