I collect moments of perfection
But my definition of perfection is not flawless
It is of a natural beauty, in its rawness
Perfect in its imperfection
It is a feeling — a just rightness
A crooked smile that brings a brightness
An unburdening lightness
Unexpected laughter—a color — a tone — a touch
A spoken phrase that expresses something best
That fresh feeling after a good nights rest
The way a bird arranges her nest
The small things that are marvelous
I see the energy in that which I find beautiful
I marvel at the one-of-kind
These are the things I wish to find
And collect them in my mind
An eye twinkle with a genuine grin
A fun and mischievous minor sin
A pun at just the right time
Thinking of just the right rhyme
The rare and captivating
Amber eyes that are radiating
Friendships that bridge the years
Sentimental moments that bring you to tears
These are just some of the moments that come to mind
As I consider the treasures that I find
Life is wonderfully full of marvel
It is this aspect of life to which I am partial
