All Imperfect Things

Perfection
Of unmarred beauty
Upon this world...
Beauty born of mummering sound.
Utopian skies and
Castles whispered in the wind,
Carried by feather wings.
Resilient light upon crystalled
Lettering in caves
As rainbows protrude from
Cloudless skies.
Soft, lush lips
Meets the sweetened gaze
Of a strawberry field.
The scent of newly released clouds
Flow with the air
In a newborn's lungs.
Thus, it all begins...

Glass was made to be broken...

=====
It never ends...this always happens...>.< Stupid fake-muse!
Ah well...I wasn't going to add this to the Dark Materials Series...but you know...I thought about it. Imperfection IS a dark material. Thus endeth the Dark Materials Series...

Or not. Enjoy!

HI LEAH!!!   HI!!

Now in order not to make you feel empty, I shall reply telling you this was utter crap.   jk...BIG jk

Imperfection is a dark material, you're right and you really did do a good job with this piece. How you ask? HOW?? Well, sit back and I shall reveal all. The different examples of imperfection were really brilliant in their own right. You took simple elements of everyday living, threw them into a poem of imperfection and in the end exposed exactly what was imperfect about them to such a degree I shall never look at rainbows the same way again.
Your imagery was very well done too.
"Utopian skies and
Castles whispered in the wind,
Carried by feather wings."
That just sends magical images in my head because castles in the wind...just WOW. I'm getting a picture of rural Ireland in the 6th century. That's all good considering some of my dreams.  
My favourite line in this entire piece was the very last one in italics. 'Glass was meant to be broken...' How very true. This I found to be appealing because of the simple fact that people see glass breaking as seven years bad luck. The reality of it is that it will break eventually but what will be the straw that breaks the camels back? It is a fitting ending to a piece that highlights the different aspects of life that and will always be imperfect.

Alright, that'll do from me. Thanks for sharing another fab piece. Keep 'em coming and if you ever stop, I'll hunt you down and make you write.
