Perfected imperfections



Perfected imperfections

Minds move without its moving
Beyond the memories of today
 
Shadow of daylight
Surrounds the silence
 
Outside changes from within
See the changes of our lives
 
Coherent understanding
Of shapeless shapping
Knowledge intuitive intellegence
Of dissassembled assembledge
Constructed in its whole
 
Effortless designs  allude to
The perfected imperfections
 
From mind to hand
In light of gathered memeories
Looking out from within
 
Distilled purified
In illumination
Recalls itself through
Hearts of wounded souls
In the torrents of our dispair

    This poem reflects on the intricate balance between perfection and imperfection in the human experience. The lines "Effortless designs allude to the perfected imperfections" beautifully encapsulate the idea that flaws and imperfections can be part of a greater, harmonious design. The imagery of minds moving without physical motion, the shadow of daylight surrounding silence, and the changes within and without emphasize the interconnectedness of internal thoughts and external realities. The poem delves into the concept of coherent understanding, intuitive intelligence, and the construction of knowledge, suggesting a deep reflection on the complexities of human cognition and existence. The mention of memories, distilled purity, and illumination recalls a journey of self-discovery and introspection within the depths of human emotions and experiences.
