Imperfection of Perfection

No matter how close we come still it is not obtainable;
perfection means finished, completed.
That never happens until we leave this existence
and maybe not then either.
We continue to grow, change,
become more in our path to completeness.

Now is the moment to grasp intently,
seeing the potential within as we interweave
our lives with those we love and care about.
Oh so carefully so no ties are broken,
proceeding cautiously to touch hearts,
make progress in our journey to perfection.

It takes courage, time and mistakes
to learn the lessons provided,
empathy for self to begin over once again
relearning lessons thought mastered
but not. Stumbling blocks that can lead
to bigger obstacles to climb and overcome.
