1 original, poem on the theme of
Inner alignment
New poem, written on or after 26-February-2021, any form, minimum 10 lines.
The poem should address this line of inquiry:
Head seeks attainment
Heart joyous contentment
Orientations being divergent
Conflict then seems imminent
Unless ... both be in alignment
Thoughts, words, deeds in congruity
In our moment to moment entrée
How may we in our life journey
With conscience thus be
In alignment
