Guidelines:
Your poem should focus on the metaphysical aspects of human relationships, emotions, and the interconnectedness of individuals. It should not promote or emphasize any religious beliefs, but rather encourage creative exploration of the profound questions surrounding our existence.

Poem Length:
There is no strict word or line limit, but I would recommend that poems be long enough to convey a meaningful exploration of the chosen theme. Any form is acceptable.
