Where Are You? Poem by Dr. Yogesh Sharma

On which planet have you gone?
Without you, I can also nowhere roam,
Floating without any base,
Dissolved with the wind, in vast space.

You are not a woman,
I am not a man,
Like leaf, flower, grass, water, soil,
Lost in each other and toil.

Made for each other,
As grass I smile and flutter,
Remembering the melodious sound,
Murmured by you centuries ago round.

Now this world is not ours,
Streets, home, lane, helmet, bower,
All changed or razed,
How beautiful you were there, unfazed.

Moon threw his naughty light on you,
It was the same wind which flew.
You hold your attire bright and new.
Memories thousands, in my heart, mew,

I felt you resting on your lids,
As dew rests on thirsty leaf, not to skid,
Fresh and sweet like spring pod.
Where have you vanished, beautiful creation of God?
