Perfectly Imperfect

(Free verse)

We often take the small, simple, imperfect joys

in life for granted. The smell of dirt and fresh

air on a wilderness trail. The crunch of fresh

green kale from the brightest most popular stand

at the farmers market. The way cultivar blooms

freely in the wild. Just simply the look of weathering

copper. Life is all about finding the beauty in imperfectly

beautiful moments.
