Twins of Gemini

B  Beginning my life's journey
O  On a long road of discovery
R  Reaching for the stars
N  Needing to know...but will I ever? 

U  Underestimating the universe
N  Now finds me under it's power
D  Deep within the heart, a longing
E  Eclipsing the moon
R  Reflected in the eyes of the sky

G   Gazing with curiosity through cloudy windows
E    Each pane stares back at me, my twin... 
M   My mirror image , her look of wonder
I    I search her face to see if she has the answers
N   No secrets revealed,.. we must both continue to seek...and like a moth...
I    I flutter, as does she, against the glass, to reach the light
