THE OTHER HALF OF ME

Somewhere far, far away,

In a land to me unknown:

A land that borders the Ocean

To the East, and the Mountain

To the West, lives the other half of me.

And I - I looked in a mirror,

Hoping for at least a glimpse.

Try as I may, I was unsuccessful

And thus, in my mind did arise

The thought: "Maybe this is one of my whims."

Dejected I sat down, and began to cry

When suddenly my heart -

It broke loose and began to fly.

Flabbergasted, for a moment I sat still,

And then ran like the wind upon a hill.

I ran as fast as I could;

My heart just out of reach, always.

The chase took me to places I knew not

Until to the land unknown, but vaguely

Familiar I was brought.

There, my heart led me to a small

Room in a house, no bigger than a hole in a wall.

And lo! I was surprised,

My heart had led me to the thing I prized.

And now, tears of joy flowed like a river

For at last I had found the other half of me.
