The Beauty About Imperfections

The smell of either soil or concrete after the rain is breathtaking
The sight of the sky and the birds on a warm day is amazing 
The sound of the wind blowing dry leaves is astonishing 
The sight of blossoming flowers is unmatched 
But the smell of pollen everywhere is overwhelming 


I was hoping it would be a beautiful day 
One with some drops from the sky to say that he still wants us to survive the heat (and there were some)
Where he fills the dams just enough until he would need to again 
One that would kiss us goodbye with a rainbow 
But the wind invaded tempestuously 

I was hoping it would be a wonderful day 
One with brightness, colour and music 
Where Mr Sun would grace us with his warmth and caress our heavy skins 
One that would kiss us goodbye with dusk not so dark 
But the clouds hid his face 

I was looking forward to a fairly  windy day
The kind that let's you see the beauty of the brown fallen leaves 
One that reminds us that life can leave you puffy on some days
One that would kiss us goodbye with an embrace of calmness and quietness 
But the sun rudely dominated the turbulence 

I thought today would be like one of those washing powder adverts 
Where butterflies and colourful, cheerful birds fly all over the place 
Where the grass is green and a thousand flowers bloom 
One that would kiss us goodbye with all types of allergies 
But the wind blinded our eyes and robbed us of the sight that left some sneezing, others itchy and others swollen

Not one of them were perfect, but something about them was.
