Love Is the Answer

If love is the answer,what is the question
My mind so eagerly wants to know
A lonely hearts club is a suggestion
From which  fond relationships can  grow.

Neither beauty of body nor gender inclined
Between which there is little to choose
What stirs my heart is refinement of mind
Physicality we will  always lose 

Close companionship rests not on the corporeal
The human body being but a shallow distraction
We are all  at our best in matters ethereal
Our hearts drawn by mutual mental  attraction

In life's sore troubles amor vincit omnia
True love provides its own cornucopia.
