I gaze into the dark blue sky

In search of hope; to meet my twin,

gathered courage for 89 years- still searching;

You seem to be close; but yet so far.

This aspiration in me was not for now,

It remained a search for long cherished years.

it yielded sleepless nights and

my mortal yearned to meet you, though.

I hear your voice but couldn’t see

an obstacle stood tall blocking my view,

shut my lids and alone I lay in my cozy little chamber everyday;

Questioned a scholar, a scientist, a doctor,

an architect, a journalist, a psychologist….& at last god,

but listened no answer; for it was too strange,

no way ! no way ! it’s impracticable they said;

I grew old & lost my life;

knew a day - would unquestionably meet;

spoke, laughed, expressed, & cried together.

But why? But why? God made it so hard for us to meet;

I knew – You seem to be close; but yet so far.

The day came when you lost yours, I jumped for joy; happiness unbound

My waiting was fruitful, you came to me; looked at you for the very first time.

Touched you to feel your warmth.  Precisely “You resemble me”.

Oh my eyes!

Oh my eyes!
