Why have I been deserted? when others herd together <br />Why do I have to stand naked under scorching sun? alone? <br />Why have I faced the coldest storm that needle my skin to blue? <br />Why does a deluge leave me drenched and storm put me off my feet <br />Why tears from my eyes get dry all by itself.... <br />Why my hands assure me when I want consolation <br />Why my feet hold me to ground and never let me fall <br />Why my will still tie me to mother earth <br />My soul is one with its people..with you... <br /> <br />Wondering why have you not kept your promise ever <br />Wondering why have you not stood like a rock <br />Why have you not opened your arms to welcome any pain that headed my way <br />and why still never logged horns with trouble that came.. <br />Why have you not took me with from barren land to Elysium <br />Why have not enveloped me in your arms when winds were mighty and cold? <br />Why your shoulders were never there when i wanted to cry <br />Why tears fall? why have I cried? <br /> <br />but tears get dry all by itself.... <br />and my hands assure me <br />feet hold me to ground and never let me fall <br />And I am still tied to mother earth <br />because my soul is one with its people.... <br />My soul is one with...you<br /><br />Aparna Sinha<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wondering-why-9/
