True North
I was fading to nothing,
all reason and purpose gone,
when my eyes found hers
and I was instantly drawn.
As the needle in my heart turned,
I knew I had found my true north,
her heart the magnet
that would lead me there.
This is my response to Quadrille #114 – Poetic Magnetism,
the prompt from De Jackson at dVerse Poets Pub,
which is to use a form of the word magnet in a 44-word poem,
with no required meter or rhyme.

A love quadrille like this one is more than attractive, Ken. These lines are just gorgeous:
‘As the needle in my heart turned,
I knew I had found my true north’.

Thank you, Kim. I hoped it would work for the thought of a damaged heart being healed.
