An Inspired Poem: Divergent Minds, Convergent Hearts
In the realm where thoughts like rivers flow,
Diverse in course, yet destined to bestow
A confluence where minds, though worlds apart,
Find unity in the language of the heart.
Divergent minds, like stars in endless skies,
Each shining with its own hue, its own guise.
