Quintessence

Essence of the elements,
Perfection from above,
Heavenly demeanor,
Purveyor of love.
Not of earth or water,
Not of air or fire,
Spanning 'cross the heavens
On wings that never tire.
Humankind befuddles,
Cannot comprehend
The purity of substance
You emit as you descend.
The quintessential element
We mortals can't possess,
Always striving, always reaching,
Settling for less.
