Logic by Heart

Kathy Schoggins

Kunat Kalifee

This is the Vulcan heart

This is the Vulcan soul

Primeval need

Instinct and madness

This I thought was heart and soul

Prideful

Arrogant

I turned from your qomi love

The burning again

Bonded no longer

The need was great

Heartbroken still

You sacrificed to save me

A coolness to ease the burning

Merciful

Humane

I now understand this word

Sane again

Fever gone

Yet a thirst for you I can not quench

Our child suckling at your breast

While exhausted you sleep

I am humbled by my ignorance

Wiser now

Here is this Vulcan's heart

Here is this Vulcan's soul
