Oh Perfection
by Tricia Pattinson


Oh Perfection!
You stay aloof; untapped!

Am I so terrible?
Undeserving of happiness?

Or are you misunderstood?
Like the Sun circling Earth?

Oh Perfection you elude everyone!
In different ways our homage turns to guilt!

Are angels too seeking you?
Have they a greater wisdom of your truth?

Or do the angels struggle as we
In their shadowy grief of some criminality?

Are you a teacher using faults?
Giving lessons in self love?

Showing harmony
With discordant chords?

That accepting all is good
Even in the practice cruel?

Oh Perfection!
Thank you for the twists and turns!

For allowing me to run in circles
To seek you upon mountainous routes

For revealing imperfections gift -
Change is a dervish golden mean!

And perfectly made to experience life
To feel and know the Creator's stride

So Perfection you're at the core
Allowing us to learn and grow toward

One day we'll all wake up
Knowing the Earth circles the Sun
