PERFECTION'S EXCLUSIVE

3.

Seeking perfection?

Do we all do it?

Is Perfection an absolute?

Does it repel our clumsy attempts?

Seeking perfection?

Is it possible? Is it wise?

Perfection? Perfection?

What is it? How will we know?

If it’s an all-encompassing quest;

Forcing us to forget the rest; 

both in the sense of relaxing, 

and relating to the horde of demands, 

we face every day

What’s the point; what’s the aim?.

If the quest is everything; The quest is all. 

Does it matter if we climb every mountain? 

Ford every stream. Follow every rainbow. 

Until we find our dream.

Yes, the sound of music

Whilst we carry on, doing better

Consistently challenging ourselves

Compare thyself not to another

You don’t live their life. 

Ask yourself: “have I achieved?

Have I done better than yesterday?

That is real, that is realistic

Maybe, one day, the sum of your

“Better than”s might creep close to a “best”

Will you know, will it register on your mind?

Or will you say, “I’ve done well;

I improved on yesterday?
