Connecting the Dots

there is a dot
inside my heart
and there is one
inside my head
one is felt
the other knows right
with no compromise
one always wins out instead
I wish that
I could find a way
to connect these dots
without this line
pulled together
it leaves me
tied in knots

Why connect the dots,
When you have to spend more time untying the knots?

Sever the line,
Let it flap in the breezes
Disconnect and delight,
In letting each have it’s own way,
The strongest ruling out,
That which most effects the heart will sweep you away,
That which most effects the head will point the direction.
Thus, you have two lines
Heading out,
Weaving the pathway of the tapestry of life.
