Perfect Imperfections



The cool breeze of October and the bite of the autumn night air.
Howling storms with beautiful rainbows,
Serene midnight snow with freezing winds.
The imperfections of nature are thought to be perfection,
But the genuine worth of things lies within the eye of the beholder.
Perfection is an unbalanced push and pull.
it's not simple to conform
but also expected of us all.
Perfection is no protection.
The heart is an element of the mind,
 and as such,
 it is a river of emotion that is always agitated.
The concreteness of the mind
and the always-changing heart
are just as they seem
perfect imperfections.
