Inside each heart lies a desire to reach love’s lofty heights
Our very soul cannot survive unless it’s in our sight
But sometimes we’re mistaken and think it’s appetite
A reward that can be won by doing all things right
We try to preen and buy so another will delight
But everything decays, we cannot end the blight
True love becomes stronger when the flesh has lost its might
And the purest love we know will continue on despite
The Rational Element
