When Sleep Descends

Lady of Nidra
descends
through the clouds
to enter my mind

Wisps of thoughts
in discrete bundles
wait to get burned

She brings Agni—
to drive out
Warra Wirrin
deluding my mind

She instills Ṛta
within my mind—
getting it ready
for the closure

Her silky veil— 
I close my eyes
and drift away
in her lullabies
