Sigiriya

Some things you have to see
Some things you have to join in their environment
To get the full impact of their presence
Their domination
Their magnetism
Their dwarfing of everything around them
Unattainable from photograph or film
If you haven’t breathed in its presence
If you are not engulfed by its domination
If you are not struck by insignificance
If you haven’t touched it
If you haven’t embarked on the vertical journey to the top
If you haven’t met the ladies face to face
You haven’t seen Sigiriya
