The Double Sport Poem by Nyein Way(Maung Maung Thein)

The Double Sport

The Double Sport

Mountains And Climbing Mountains
High esteems in life
When finishing up quality task
What is quality of life? ? ?

'Everest silences you, ' she confessed to Gibreel Farishta in a bed above which parachute silk formed a canopy of hollow Himalayas. 'When you come down, nothing seems worth saying, nothing at all. You find the nothingness wrapping you up, like a sound. Non-being. You can't keep it up, of course. The world rushes in soon enough. What shuts you up is, I think, the sight you've had of perfection: why speak if you can't manage perfect thoughts, perfect sentences? It feels like a betrayal of what you've been through. But it fades; you accept that certain compromises, closures, are required if you're to continue.'

But humans are
striving for better understanding and clear ideas on meaning of life events.
The double theatre.
The double sport.

Life is a dream.
Life is a music of dynamic water flowing beside a hill.
Life is mountaineering.
