Perfectionism

Ideas thoughts potential scattered and unrelated until A twist a turn a perfect form, balanced. Yet it cannot be sustained competing forces expectations The pattern dissolves as it is compelled to turn away from itself. Exciting ideas moving apart and at the same time together. A new shape forms, for a moment. Never ending movements interspersed with originality. Calm but fragile as the slightest pull threatens its very existence Ideas passions possibilities contained within a shell. A veneer of strength protecting it, from itself. To the observer an impression of self-containment control success. Yet for those who dare peer Through the pinhole, insight. Will the kaleidoscope ever rest satisfied with its own creation?
