Paths, or: Crossroads

My 1^st biolet

We creatures yearning to connect
Hearts not designed to beat alone
Pulsing truths that would be known
Zigzagging life-lines intersect
Hearts not designed to beat alone
We creatures yearning to connect

Your first two lines are powerful enough to stand on their own. Personally, if I had come up with them, I don’t think I’d ever do anything with them – at leas not poetically.

You sir, did and spoke to something much deeper, much more raw about the human condition.

Wow! I am really liking this form and your poem! The refrains work so well both at the beginning and the end! Impressive! (on a curious note, how hard was it to come up with lines that made sense for the repeating lines?)

  Thanks, Muri 🥰
  
  TBH, it didn’t take long to come up with a refrain. It’s reflective of something I think about.
