Where Are You? Poem by Meena Iyer

I gaze ahead
standing on the window
I see happy birds flying
In pairs to the chicks to be fed
Where are you!


When I see moon so shy
Peeping into the garden
Amid bountiful stars
Like a bride to be.. I sigh
Where are you!


And then its so late
I resign to my fate
The moon the stars
and the faded flower
Admonishes me to wait..
where are you!


The sun has risen again
The birds sing a song
Come back soon I cant wait for long
As sky changes its hue
I rue... where r u?
