Perfect

If only we were perfect,

Perfect minds
  in perfect bodies
  hearts full of love and understanding
  complete and whole 
   one 
  with the universe at large;
we are a people lost
  imperfect
with deaf ears 
      that forget how to listen
with blinded eyes
      that refuse to see
these human hearts and unseen souls
  forgo the mysteries of life
living for
  something more, someone greater
than we are 
  and so we remain struggling
imperfect beings.

DM, Yes, I'm still learning that lesson. It's the imperfections where all the good stuff comes from. -Richard
