Imperfect Perfection

Beth's Perfect Apple

From the mind,
from the heart,
and from the hand
of a child,
comes such imperfect perfection.

Their minds so clear and unjaded,
able to see the world
with all it's vibrant colours.

To see and to be comfortable
with all the minor flaws inherent
in all things and yet still see their beauty
is next to divine.

Unto us on this earth
God bestows his precious angels
to remind us of how perfect imperfection is.

PERSPECTIVE

Try to disguise who one really is inside.

The unceasing glare of eyes larger than life
piercing into one's very soul.
There is no hiding, no refuse.
A never-ending silent inquisition.
Is it real or only in the mind,
our societal superiority complex?
Can one not just be themselves in front of one set
of loving, omniscient eyes alone?

Every day

From afar

I look at your beauty

Longingly.

Oh if I could one day

Just muster the courage

To saunter down your aisle.

Heaven knows

I have enough broth.

I yearn for your love's

Warm nourishment more.

Neon Oasis

I can see you in the distance
So close, so far.

Longing to hear the sound of your voice
Which was slowly fading into the shadows of my mind.

Only hours away...
I need you now.

Godsend neon oasis of contact
In the wasteland of my mind.

Finally I can hear you.

If only I could touch you, hold you...

Smouldering Ember

Blazing opalescent alabaster glow,

A searing intensity in sharp contrast

Poised to burn in a blaze for eternity

Fueled by the invigorating breath of life.

Without flame - no heat, no light.

Without fuel - no flame, no life.

Poignant words we all wanted to speak but took a child's courage to speak them...

The Final Lesson

http://magpietales.blogspot.com/

"Mine" learns the young toddler as he discovers his world.

"Yours" as the youngster discovers that he is not alone in this world.

"Ours" as two realize they cannot survive on their own in their world.

"Mine" as God gently asks for the return of that which was graciously lent while in His world.
