The Poem explores the idea that chasing success can lead to loneliness. It shows how achievements can be cold compared to the warmth of compassion and human connection.

It reminds us that real happiness comes not from power, but from the honest relationships we build with others.

“Where Winds Forget to Sing”

At the peak, where winds forget to sing,
And stars don’t blink, nor memories cling,
What use is height, if hearts don’t hear
The cry of pain, and the silent tear?

You chased the gleam of hollow fame,
Wore masks of pride, played power’s game.
But lost the child who once believed
In truth, in love, in dreams conceived.

You ran through echoes, void and vast,
Each footstep fading from the past.
Yet when alone, your soul confides—
The mirror cracks where ego hides.

Oh wanderer, pause and feel the ground,
Where roots of kindness still are found.
Not in thrones, nor within granite walls,
But in a friend’s voice when darkness calls.

The summit is cold, the air is thin—
It robs the warmth you held within.
Come down where hands in union rise,
Where hearts still dance beneath the skies.
