Thought and Love
In the battle of thought and love
Of the mind and of the heart
Are they the same; like sand and mud?
Like ice and water are hand and glove?
Are maybe a lot further apart!
I have heard it discussed in church and bars,
Insightful opinions from the blind.
I have heard that love by being thrall
Very near possesses all.
Is it a loving heart and not a thinking mind?
I have looked to science to solve this quiz.
I searched the books of anatomy.
I conclude: It can not be this.
The mind and heart can not be mixed.
Love and thought, differ to me.
Love being bound by a heart
Confines itself to land and sky.
Therefore can't be considered smart
So often found to be quite tart.
Love is love, cut and dried!
However I find no limits on thought
It is free to cross both space and time.
Unlike love which is tied to a heart
Thought is all but what God hath wrought.
Yet superior not to love I find.
