Deliberately Flawed
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deliberately Flawed
Makers of pottery, rug weavers too,
from varied cultures- plan each design;
create flawed patches in work that they do-
since only God is perfection, divine.
The Navaho weave rugs with broken lines-
this facade showcases imperfect art;
as humans, they leave illusion- small signs-
spirit lines where weaver souls can depart.
So, inside their art, they hide the mask
of those defects well, not to detract
from beauty- and weave within every task
a strand of yarn- torn, a tiny bead- cracked.
Blessings of their imperfection- embrace;
seeking to match God's perfection- disgrace.
