Dimidium animae meae

I am myself once again.
The girl of long ago and far away
is here and now.
But is there more to this story?
I must read on.
These fairy tales always have
a happy ending,
after the test.
How strange to feel whole
if I am really half.

  1. Actually, I am betting that you are really whole but you don't know it yet because you have not yet arrived at the end of the fairy tale.

  2. Thank you for your very nice comment, Elizabeth. Yes, you are right on both counts. The title refers to "my soul's other half", a reference to one's "soulmate". That's the half that's missing from the whole; I haven't gotten to that part of the story yet...
