 footprints in the earth.....

Flaws


We should see
Beneath coarseness
Crudity
Human Beauty
Triumph in falling failing feet

We
Fret about freckles
Ailments ail to no avail
When specks in vision
Are castigated

I
Feel you reach
Disdaining cosmetic parlance
Gory pallor of perfectionism

Bliss sprouted from shattered
Shameful splinters

So mourn announced norm
Bear these flaws
And love will smother them into wonder
