If I understand it right per the poem as a whole, yes.
We serve as a reflection of something else, Spirit. We're all a part of it, and the reflection of Creation can be seen in the world. Losing the appetite for food, or animal energy is more succumbing to the desires of the world, getting lost in what we 'see.' Paying attention to the reflection, but not seeing the bigger picture which is involved in the whole. So by looking to Love, you see the Bigger Picture, and the creative aspect. People who do recognize this, have their eyes on this, don't fear as strongly and find peace more. They wont 'starve,' because they learn to feed on something else, and love becomes that nourishment.
