An Imperfect World

We could collapse into one another

And live...

We could meet without knowing,

Hidden until we reach the same corner.

We may shy away from the reality

Until we know what must be realized...

That our imperfections are like butterfly wings

Singed on the edges meeting patterns that run into one another

Like paths into eachother...

a suggestion to this piece: *battered*"butterfly wings"

When I read this, a couple of things came to mind.

One was the concept of everything happens for a reason, things come around full circle given enought time so why rush life.
The others was if seeing the merging of two halves of the butterfly is our realizations of the great things in life. What does it mean if we see the butterfly smashed on a car's grill all dried out but in perfect form?
I know...random thought... *smiles*

A beautiful piece about life and where we should be putting our energy.

An insighful and beautiful poem. Your writer's pen served you well and brought us a piece that is worth reading and keeping. The imperfections that we all have and that run through all things, should be an accepted part of our makeup as humans. We can mask and hide them away, but they will emerge. Sometimes what we perceive as imperfections can actually enhance. The simple flaws of structure and psyche are what make us unique and can add to the beauty of the human portfolio that we present to the world. You capture the reader from beginning to end.

The beauty of our imperfect existence and your imagery is beautifully perfect. The opening lines were irresistible.

I like this piece. It left a strong image and feeling inside. I sort of feel it is hanging there at the end and wonder if that is deliberate. I would be tempted to continue but sometimes there are too many words to use. There is some really good work on your site! Kevin x
