At night,

It is not just the darkness

That settles down like dust

After a sandstorm,

But also, the silence.

You spend the day

Waiting for it,

Yearning for the embrace

Of these gemini,

And it’s not just your eyes

That you crave to close

But also your mind

Which has been spinning

Its thousand wheels.

But whether you get

What you seek

Is like the toss of a coin

Sheer luck;

Or maybe,

It is your destiny.
