"Paths Of The Heart"

The path we tread
Upon the dust of the earth

It is along this path
That many things
Both great and small
Shall happen

But in either case the world is changed
With each step taken upon this path
For as we cross paths with another
We are given a chance
To touch to touch their heart
Forever changing their world

As then they will touch our heart in return
Thus in doing so creating a bond
Purer then any water

Very well done indeed!

The meter was certainly interesting.  I enjoyed the way you seemed to have a internal rhyme at some parts.

The content was interesting, and heavy.  I definitely enjoyed this.  It's been a while wince I've seen your work around.  I hope all is well, and I look forward to seeing more, hopefully soon

I wish your fingers could touch all I can't say... no one should ever feel this alone.
