Oh why are the winds so wild today, <br />And the skies so sizzling blue, <br />Birds unusually vocal <br />As if on Richter Two? <br />Why are flowers beset with bees <br />Frolicking in ones and twos and threes <br />Oh why are the sage and sanguine trees <br />Craning to touch me as release <br />From roots that ache, or to please <br />Me into songs anew? <br />Tell them, I am no more <br />Not one, but half, till I restore <br />What Zeus cut up in two- <br />Trekking at Pyrenees or Istanbul <br />O my missing half, <br />Where are you?<br /><br />Mandira Mitra<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/activating-search-mode-123/
