Or in the Head
“Tell me where is fancy bred,
Or in the heart or in the head?”
This quote from Shakespeare’s one I read
In high school, I would guess.
It came to me, and I won’t lie,
With Google’s help. You might ask why,
Since what it means can’t justify
What I’d like to express.
The origin of love’s the theme,
In Shakespeare’s poem, for it may seem
That some attraction, most extreme,
May over time, regress.
Yet what if symptoms of the heart
Quite unexpectedly do start?
Perhaps the mind might play a part
And add to building stress.
The head and heart, of course, connect
And feelings often intersect,
But there are ways to get things checked
So life can thus progress.
