Sketch of Life
Start with a sketch
To make it real.
What is perfect
And has appeal?
The wind and rain
Don't use a comb.
They're best untamed
And left to roam
Than to follow
Unnatural lines
That freeze their breath
And chain their minds.
Perfect, itself
Is not unique,
But flaws can make
A special tweak
To be its own
Kind of beauty
That minds can't grasp
But eyes can see.
