More than 24

Sometimes it takes more than 24 hours
To settle all the agitations...
All the waves which come to the surface
of my mind.

Yes, it takes more than a day
to find my peace.
At the end, the waves settle--
they dive deep into the water
They hide their faces from where they came
And the surface eventually becomes calm.

Deep into the water
My souls knows
It will find a way to meet yours.
If not, both have to depart
Until they are drawn back again
To this Earth by some unknown
force of the universe.
