Perfection

The moment of darkness,
amongst bright lights

Sweet calm that washes,
amidst a roaring noise

The sliver of speckled sun,
scattered with golden dust

The thorn amid flowers
flower amid thorns

Eyes lost in memory
damp in smiling thought

The nearness of a star
so distant and afar

Radiance captured
in a teardrop fallen aside

The imperfect doth render
the sordid beautifully perfect
