Echoic life!

"Paavu bajjiii!!" Yelled the mountains at me.
After a few seconds I heard them mock my surname "Thoraipakkaaamm!"
They were strictly under the influence of my colleague friend
Who found all the happiness on earth in renaming me!
The hills were his companion all along,
Not many like to stand by silence, may be!

About half an hour would have passed since our co-breath begun
And I was still in wonder of them,
The life carrying muddy rocks
That could give one back what it was given.
It was there, real majestic,
Having eaten decades of clouds and Sunshine,
Mastering the art of giving and getting,
Generously restoring words, vows and silence
To the owners, with the same emotions!

How easy would it have been
If all that we flung came crawling, back to us?!

I gave my thoughts some time and let the decision rest.

"Paavu bajjiii!!" Yelled my friend at the mountains and gave me a smirky smile.
After a few immediate seconds I heard him go on mock my surname "Thoraipakkaaamm!"
And we were trying to leave
As we had thoughts creeping in
Of having been shouting insanely at a place mistaken to be the echo point,
We had gone touring!
In the next few moments, the mountains called us back,
Or rather called me back by the ecstatic way people do!

Two mighty lessons, all of us keep failing to learn -
Silence and patience.

I tried jumping to the deciding part
And it seemed all devastating now!!
Wouldn't life be a greater mess
If it were giving all that it was given?!
Wouldn't finding way to the right owner
Be a bigger earth of problem?!

Two mighty lessons, I kept failing to learn -
Silence and patience.

I looked at the sky and trees above.
I lowered my eyes and looked at them below
Within the water making the valley
That was adorning the life-like giant pillars!
