It's a full moon...the mind was bored...so a bit of nonsense, a humorous (hopefully) look at ...um...well you'll figure it out...LOL..

The Helix and the Heart
Divided on the part
Which of two the better guide
In pursuit of a bride.

The Helix liked the direct path -
In his world of twisted math
One plus one was always two -
And any 'one' would do.

The Heart was soft and mellow,
Sensitive and kind-like fellow;
Sang all day of love and roses
In a world of poems and posies.

The Helix to the point commanded,
Issuing a call demanded:
"Follow me, Heart, if you dare,
The road is clear and bare!"

But to the Heart such words were hollow:
"Where Love is not, I will not follow!" -
He declared and turned away
From such a selfish play.

Clearly such a locked impasse
Will not yield or snare a lass -
One must call to higher sources,
Where but pure reason courses.

And the Mind, the judge presiding,
A course of action deciding
Pondered long about the case,
Perplexed look upon his face.

Then at last his face rejoiced
As his sentence loudly voiced:
"The Heart on my left, Helix on my right,
As one we shall search for Her Light!"

As far as I know they struck a deal,
No back-talking and no appeal -
And unified as a single guide
They found the perfect bride.

Now, the Helix met his equal match -
Him and Her found secret latch;
The Heart – oh, he got lost in other,
About him you need not bother.

But the Mind - required is no more,
He has become quite a bore.
Yet - you never know when winds of Fate
May call him back to serve the State.
