Lonesome Hearts
A Tritriplicata Poem
the world spins
equilibrium lost
straining to rebuild connections lost
gazing at the same stars,
our hearts beat

We started July with the gift of flowers from Tapan Avasthi and Jenny Justice inspired us to reach for the stars. Now, let’s experience the world with our hearts. The heart assumes many roles in our world. The heart sustains life, is the locus of our inner soul, and is the catalyst for love, beauty, joy, and compassion.
