Perfect In Its Pure Imperfections
Patch after patch after patch
A picture speaks a thousand words
And in this picture I see the plans of the Architect,
Unfinished, a work in progress
Constantly changing
Our world.
***
Do you believe in a Creator
Be that a belief
A spiritual
Or a natural beginning?
***
Well here my friend is the proof
Of a world built one part at a time
Much in the same way as a patchwork quilt
As pieces are tacked on as needed
A world expansion.
***
This picture shows the finished patches
But if you’ll look closely
What else do you see?
***
I see patchwork squares unfinished
Although the trowel lines of the glue are in place
Just waiting for the magical creator
To tack down the next patch
To continue the work in progress.
***
Mother Nature working in its finest
As it moulds each addition
Imperfect in its curved lines
Each addition or patch a different size
A different shape
Perfect alone
But magical when consolidated.
***
Our world, our paradise
An ever changing miracle of creation
Patch added to patch
Areas redesigned
Parts left for nature to reclaim.
***
All in all
Perfect in its pure imperfections!

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
