At the top of the world

What happens when you are at the top of the world? I mean not at mount everest but at something which feels like the top of the world for you. All along one struggles hard and looks forward to the thing that you are desiring, yearning for, wanting. And one day, all of a sudden you are there. How do you feel?

I don't know about you, but I know what I felt. I felt sheer joy and I was full of ecstacy. And for some time, it felt like nothing could go wrong at all. In my thrill, I forgot completely that although I had come there, the only places I could go from there was below it. Everything looked perfect then.

And then I fell down. For although I knew how to reach there, I didn't know how to stay on and what to do there. I didn't know that the storms are at the strongest there, as there is nothing to lean on to to protect yourself.

I just sit here and comtemplate about what all happened. Now it all looks like a dream. Why did this dream happen to me I don't know. I don't have the courage and ability to try it again. Its probably a mirage in an infinite desert.
